Newbie Here (quick question)

[Stone Denning]

Hey everyone I've been investing for a while and reached a large milestone and am looking to scale now. I wasnt previously invested into the housing side of real estate though so I am looking for some help. This may be a very vague question but I am looking to start searching for a duplex- quadplex to start house hacking but I am not too sure on where to begin. This includes, do I talk to a lender first, realtor, etc. Looking for some help or maybe course suggestions. Sorry I know there is probably a lot to answer for this question just wanted a jump on where to start
