Is house hacking as a college student realistic?

[Camron Cottam]

Hello all,

Quick background; I'm a college student heading into my senior year and am looking to get going on investing in real estate as soon as possible. As the case for most college students, I don't have a lot of $$ to get started out with. 

Would it be realistic to buy a house (to house hack) with as little as 10k down by the time next September rolls around? In my area I can get a 2 unit multifamily home with 2 bedrooms a side for around 200k. 

I have been doing some research on FHA loans and am a little skeptical on if that is really the best route to go. Have any of you out there gone this route before and are able to give me some insight?
