Advice on my first househack
Hi guys! The wife and I just received our TBD approval for an FHA loan (praise God)! We are looking to househack something. Just wondering if you guys have any tips, advice, or strategies that we should know moving forward? As I'm sure you all know, the market is tough and finding multi unit properties for sale with a vacancy is not going to be easy. Any advice is highly appreciated. We are in the East Texas market looking near Longview, Kilgore, Tyler area!

Yes that is how it would work @Bryan Price. @Patrick Bartlett above sounds like he is an area specific guy that can really help you out here.
Good luck
