House Hacking out of college

[Michael Estes]

Hello Everyone!

I am currently a senior in college and have accepted a job in Marlborough, Massachusetts.  I have been listening to tons of bigger pockets podcasts, and reading real estate investment books.  I am interested in house hacking, but I have student loans, and have never been in the Marlborough area.  If I were to get an apartment, I would be stuck in a lease for at least 6 months to a year, and would not be able to house hack until that time is up.  Is there a way that I could start looking for deals even with me being hours away from the MA area?  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
