Looking to House Hack and for a Mentor that I could help

[Adam Thies]

Hey everyone! I just became a Pro Member! My fiancé and I are looking to house hack our first home together. The idea would be that we live there for a year and move into a starter home to start a family in, while keeping the Small multi-family for income. We are looking to move into a duplex around May 2023. I have talked with a few local real estate agents that I found through the "Find an Agent tool" on BP.com and I am working to get pre-approved for a loan. I'm an every-day listener (old podcasts to catch up) so I feel like I know the challenges ahead. I am not naïve enough to know that there's a lot that I don't know. The Kansas City, Kansas small multi-family market is very competitive so I am hoping for any advice or mentorship as I start building my real-estate portfolio! I am happy to help in return.
