Advise for 1st timer house hacker in Austin

[Jose Saldivar]

Hello,

My wife and I are looking to buy a duplex in Austin this summer with a FHA loan. We got our down payment ready, or credit is looking good, our DTI is solid and we're excited. We still haven't found a lender or agent yet. We plan on living in one unit and renting out the other. We've just been looking on Realator.com and are looking for a duplex in the 500ks .

Is there anyone that is familiar or experienced in Austin that can give us any kind of advice?

We would appreciate it. Thanks. ✌🏼
