New to real estate. Looking for insight and knowledge.

Good morning All—

I’ve been wanting to get into real estate for a couple of years now and this year is the year I start.

Wanting to get into duplexes (house hacking) and build the real estate portfolio from there.

What would be the ideal mortgage to start out with? Or the most common used mortgage for this house hacking method?

Thanks,

-Chris

@Christopher Castro FHA loan 3.5% down and utilize the 6% seller assist to pay for your closing costs.
