House Hacking from Another State

[Tyler Kavan]

Hi. I am starting to look for my first house hack and am a little nervous on pulling the trigger while living in a different state. I work for Kiewit out of Omaha but am currently supporting a project in Arizona. I live there for the most part but am allotted time as part of the job package to come home and see family and friends. I want to buy my first multi family while I am down there so when I fully come back to Omaha, which should be in roughly 7 months, I have a place to live. I am wondering if anyone has any advice on if I should start the buying process or wait until I am back in Omaha.
