Question. I am Looking to possibly house hack a duplex in my area. I live in Beaver Falls PA about 40 mins north of Pittsburgh. The asking price for the duplex is 40,000 or best offer presented. I haven’t physically walked through the house but i know from talking to real estate company there will need to be repairs in the vacancy apartment. I am literally starting with 0 dollars. What is the best course of action going with an FHA loan? private lender? I want to profit more than owe after moving in? But starting with no money I’m not sure the best route to take??
