House Hacking in the New Haven Connecticut area

[Eric Perez]

Hey people, 

I am a College student and Intend on starting to house hack as soon as I am out of school (1 year) and the dust starts settling on the situation we have at hand right now. 

I was curious to hear about experiences from other people who have successfully house hacked in the New Haven area in Connecticut. I have no qualms about considering other neighboring towns of course and would like to hear of any stories in regards to things to look out for in this local market along with any numbers that people are willing to share. 

I intend to take advantage of FHA, though I am currently under the impression that it involves a 2 year employment history as a requirement and as a college student I can only imagine that my numbers will be lackluster. I have some ideas for some creative financing but I will have to fully understand my local market before I really jump into possible roadblocks I may face down the line.

Also, if there are any resources someone can point me to in regards to understanding my local area I would appreciate it. Thank you for your time!
