Looking for my first house-hack deal!

[Brett Bowers]

I am in an interesting situation. I am graduating from college this May and my lease ends around the end of this November. I have been analyzing a few deals around my area and driving for dollars regularly for repetition and knowledge of my market. I have been living with 5 other guys who I consider family, and a few of them are willing to help me with my real estate investing career by renting from me when I purchase my first property to house-hack (I understand some will not agree with renting to your friends, but I am not asking for advice in this area). Most importantly, I am looking for mentorship, referrals for deals, private lending options, and possibly property management options for the future. Thank you for any help!
