How do I find my first investment (house hack)

[Pat Rach]

So I have been doing looking on Zillow, auction websites, and other online resources to try to find foreclosures and deals and I’m not having very good luck. This is a very open ended question but I want to know how you found your first deal?

Also if you have any tips for when I go to my first REIA meet coming up that would be great too! Thanks!

My first property was a house-hack, so I found it on market. I looked at the # of rooms the house had and the rents in the area per room. It made sense for me to live in one room and rent the others to reduce my living expenses significantly.
