House-hacking & direct mail

[Heather Moore]

I'm currently house hacking my first deal & have finally saved up enough money to repeat the process! I'm looking in Pittsburgh where it's difficult to find a cash flowing deal through the MLS. My question- is it possible to do direct mail marketing while having a requirement of one vacant unit to purchase (I plan to do an FHA loan, which means i have to live in the property). Do I send out mailers & bring it up during the initial discussion? Seems awkward, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes! Just looking for some opinions. Thanks all!!
