I would love to House Hack My First Property

[Alfred Wilson]

Hello all, I want to start by saying thank you to everyone that's involved in this forum. OKAY, so I'm a veteran and would love to use my VA to purchase my first home. However, as noted in the topic, I would like to house Hack it. I wanted assistance I'm finding properties that I can utilize. I'm new to investing and have just finished The Book on Rental Property by Brandon Turner. I'm also reading a few more books offered by the Bigger Pockets boon store. So, my question is how to find these properties and is it a good time to buy? I currently have been renting in the Norcross area but I work in Roswell. I've improved my credit score to the upper 680s. My issue is my lease is up in October so I want to put in the work early. Sorry for the long message but I really need help. Also, I'm not opposed to working with real estate agents and have a nice savings to cover closing cost if necessary. Any assistance would be great and much appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your service and enlightenment!
