House Hacking First Investment

[Francisco Gomez]

Hello, BiggerPockets!

I'm Francisco from Las Vegas,NV. I'm a 21 Year old real estate agent who is interested in investing and thought it would be good for me to begin with a multi family home and house hacking. Although i'm not able to get FHA financing yet due to bad credit, i will be working on fixing that and saving up money for a down payment. I'm interested in getting something by UNLV and maybe focus on student rentals because i feel it would be easier to work with tenants in my age group. The multi family market in Las Vegas isn't that great so if I'm unable to find a good deal in that area im also willing to look in any areas close to the freeways. I don't mind living in these "war zones" but I've heard a lot of investors tell horror stories of trouble tenants but i'm wondering if tenants behave better when the owner resides in the same property? Anyway, im curious to hear any advice, stories, or tips when it comes to MultiFamily or House-Hacking. Book recommendations welcomed.
