New and need a little guidance on Rental Property around MSP

[Swaroop Chowdary devineni]

Hey Bigger Pocket People, I am Swaroop. I live in Eagan Minnesota.

I am looking for my first rental property. I want to house-hack and look to get an FHA loan, . I have a family of 7. I am fairly new to this, but I understand the concepts. I am battling within myself, because even though I feel I understand the concepts, I have no clue where to start. I'm not sure whether I should work on my credit first or what. 

Please guide me to chose the Condos or Townhomes under 200K with in the suburb areas of Plymoth,Eden Prairie, Edina, Eagan. in Minnesota State.

Thanks

Swaroop
