Starting out: Looking for strategies to lower closing costs

[Account Closed]

Hi there, 

I'm Didi and I live in the greater Philadelphia area. I'm looking to start my real estate investment journey with a house-hack. I have good credit and I've been preapproved but when it comes to the total amount needed to close- I'm tight on cash. I wanted to know if there were any strategies, lenders, programs  or generally any suggestions in regards to lowering some closing costs. I'm all ears, thanks in advance!
