Florida House Hack advice

[Ben Dickinson]

I want to house hack a 2-4 unit multi family in Florida and am looking for advice. I love the Sarasota/Venice/Clearwater area and would really appreciate if anyone is currently doing this or has done this in the past. Thank you for your time!

There really isn't much to know. I assume you want to go FHA so save up 3.5% for the down payment. Find a good realtor on here, they should be able to walk you step by step thru the process. When you find the property, have your realtor write that the seller is to pay closing cost and prepaids or save another 3-5% for that.
