Seeking Advice House Hacking For First Deal In Chattanooga

[Korbin Ensley]

Hello BP I live in Chattanooga and I am working on getting my real estate license at the moment. I plan on buying a duplex for my first property and house hacking when my lease ends in May of 2022. Considering my circumstances and those of the real estate market could anyone give any advice. I would really appreciate the help and thanks in advance!

Hey Xayvier, that's awesome man! You're definitely on a similar path as myself, I am a Realtor here in Chattanooga and closed on my first house hack in May! I'm happy to help answer any questions you have about the process. 

The biggest advice I could give you about finding a house hack is reaching out to as many people in the industry as you can and tell them what you're looking for. Rather it's realtors, wholesalers, fellow investors, etc., put out as many feelers as possible. I found my deal off-market from a wholesaler friend of mine. So just make as many connections in the industry as you can and keep checking in with everyone, and hopefully you end up with a pretty good deal :) Good luck and reach out if you have any specific questions!
