need help House-hacking my first deal

[Matt Ekoti]

Hello Biggerpockets community, 

I am a 22 year old aspiring investor trying to house-hack my first deal, i live in college station, TX (Brazos country). I am a full time college student with a 750 credit score and manage to save up $11k from my day job. I am looking at purchasing a single family with 3.5-5% money down. a single family with 4 beds and 2+ baths with a garage under 180k is ideal. furthermore, i am having a hard time qualifying for a mortgage because of my income (less than 20k a year). I am looking to work/meet with local investor, real estate agent or anybody to provide me with guidance or form a mutually beneficial arrangement . I am open to any helpful tips and advice to help make 2020 the year for taking more action.
