First time house hacker in PA

[Austin Woyshnar]

Hi everyone,

My name is Austin and I am a 22 year old structural engineer. I am a first time home buyer looking to house hack in the Scranton/Dunmore PA area. I'm looking for a 3-4 bedroom single unit, and I plan on living in one of the rooms so I will qualify for a FHA loan. I want to find a place that isn't a complete fixer upper but also needs some work. My main goal for my first deal is to get a hold of the buying/mortgage process so I can take on something more intense for my second deal. I've been researching for a couple of months now and I'm getting anxious to jump into my first deal. If anyone has any insight to give on my situation I'd love to hear it!
