House hacking my first du/triplex in the Sacramento, Ca area

[Brian Sherman]

My wife and I are making a great income with a lot of savings built up. We work in the school system, which comes with some great investment perks from the govt. In talking to a loan provider, we could easily qualify for a 600k loan. We are finally looking at buying our first house; we want to house hack with a duplex or triplex. We would love to start with a BRRRR property, but I don't know if this is too much to take on as a newbie (though we are extremely ambitious and persistant). East and West Sac seem very promising, but we're totally open to learning more from a knowledgeable person about the best areas to look at. I'm also looking for an invester from the Sacramento area who can give us some pointers. We're looking to make this a win-win situation and help the investor to find good deals that help us learn in the process. If you are either of these people or know either of these people, I would really appreciate any help in getting in contact.

@Brian Sherman house hacking is the way to go , a duplex or triplex can provide the opportunity to you and your wife to learn as you go in a “relatively” safe starting point. Working with a number of clients in sac who are looking for the same thing you need to consider for yourself what numbers are you comfortable with paying IN FULL in the event you have vacancy , also consider what costs would be to get it property managed as well, if neighbors know the owners right next door they can come knocking at any given hour. Trust me :)

Let me know if I can be of service I’m an agent and active flipper here in the area
