MFH House Hack Boca Raton

[Connor Murphy]

Hey BP,

Potentially moving to Boca Raton area this summer and want to house hack a multi family. I’ve been doing some digging on Zillow/Redfin etc just to get a feel for the areas, but wanted to reach out here to see if anyone has any general input.

My fiancé may be going to the FAU medical school so we’d like to be within a 30 minute commute or so. It seems like from west palm down to Hollywood would be our range (broad, I know). Again, just looking to get my feet wet with any advice.

I’m unfamiliar with that entire area and Florida in general, so any tips would be great if anyone has experience in these markets.

Ill be using an FHA loan, have a good amount of capital up front, and have emergency funds. I'm being optimistic and looking for 3-4 units but it seems to be a duplex dominated market. I travel often for work so safety is a main focus. I still have lots of my own research to do for sure but love coming here to see what everyone else has to say as well! Thanks in advance.
