House Hacking an Mult Unit with a FHA Loan

[Victor Mays]

Hi  Everyone, 

I'm looking for advice, I am trying to house hack a cash flowing multi family around 200k or lower in a decent area in the south side of Chicago ( interested areas below) . I wouldn't mind doing a small rehab. I have been having a hard time finding decent properties on the MLS that are in decent, Comfortable/ Safe areas. The problem seems to be a lot of the good multi's are taken quick. What do you suggest on finding better deals & getting a property under contract quickly?

I would great appreciate your feedback!

P.S. - I would love a mentor right now. Also, I manage commercial construction projects for my day time job!
