Are there ways around the down payment for house hacking / brrrr?

[Dalton Riep]

Hello everyone!

I am a college student trying to house-hack or do a brrrr property in Phoenix, but as a college student, I don't have a big enough down payment (Only about $2,000). Are there any ways around this??? Lenders keep giving me mixed answers on grants and down payment assistance. Also, does rental income only count if it is a 3-plex / 4-plex or can I count rental income if I plan to rent out rooms in a single-family home?
