New to Seattle looking to purchase first home for house hacking

[Eugene Cho]

Hello BP community! Here is my intro (https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/55/topics/704046-new-to-the-seattle-area-looking-to-purchase-first-home). 

I am looking to purchase a home in a desirable area (East of 5, North of 90) with a large number of rooms, and a sizeable basement. I am currently at an Airbnb where the owner has converted the basement and main floor into its own unit, and lives in a converted attic. I am looking to do something similar and have found a property in Central district for about 800K with 6bd, 3 ba, and a large basement. I am brand new to the area so I'll be looking for real estate agents experienced in rehabbed rental properties, mortgage brokers, contractors the whole bit. Looking for any pointers and would love to start networking!
