Currently shopping around for a convention loan for first home to house hack. Dealing with a mortgage broker and have reached out to my credit union, but looking for suggestions of trusty brokers that the community has used in the past.  TIA

I would strongly recommend looking at the BiggerPockets lender finder since all those lenders are familiar with the investor mindset even if this is for a primary residence :)

     Hello Juan!

    Congrats on taking this huge step in your RE investment journey!!

    Its great to connect with multiple lenders and see which one offers the best rates & service for your specific scenario. I believe you have a 45-day window to shop lenders without having a drastic hit on your credit score.

    Happy to recommend someone if you're still searching, shooting you a PM.

    Also, as @Rene Hosman mentioned, there is a service here on BP to link you with lenders

    All the best!

    Abel

    Congrats on starting your house hacking journey! It's great that you're shopping around for a conventional loan and comparing options.  

    A tip: While comparing mortgage brokers, don’t forget to ask them about any incentives or first-time homebuyer programs that may be available in your area. It could help you get a lower rate or reduce closing costs.

    Good luck with your house hack! Keep us posted on how things go.
