I want to House Hack!

[Brian Quinn]

Well, the title says it all.  I have never owned my own home but I feel it would be a great way to break into Real Estate Investing, but where do I start? How do I find a duplex, triplex, or 4plex to house hack?  Should I start by looking for a realtor who will help me find a place? Start calling banks to get approved for a loan?  I would like to find a place somewhere in central Wisconsin or near Madison. I am absorbing as much BP content as so can and I'm loving it. Any help and advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks!
