House hacking for a first time home buyer

I'm 22 years old and graduated from college in May, 2019 - now looking forward to buying my first property within the next 6 mos.

I have narrowed my criteria (location, property type: duplex, and budget). I am now searching for deals and trying to understand the analysis process for "house hacking". The idea is to use an FHA loan to finance the property and create value by fixing up while living as a primary residence - seems like a house hack + BRRRR scenario.

Looking for advice on getting started with analyzing deals and understanding any important indicators to look out for.

Thanks in advance!
