College Student: House Hacking a Seller Financed Deal in Atlanta?

[Arionna Russell]

Hey Y'all,

I am college student in the Atlanta area and I want to buy my first investment property before the end of the year. I have limited capital & good credit. Although I have no problem making monthly payments, I would have a hard time qualifying for a conventional loan. I either want to house hack a multifamily property or find a SFH with 3+ bedrooms to rent by room. I am looking in the 30314, 30318 areas.

What sellers would be interested in this proposal and what is the best way to find them? (Perhaps established landlords?) I know the Atlanta market is hot, but I am willing to put in the work to find the needle in the haystack. 

Methods I am considering: zillow, craigslist, mls, mls expired listings, asking everyone I can find
