Trying to begin househacking.
I am looking to invest in real estate for myself. Currently I am 26 and am working in healthcare. I wand to begin creating equity for myself and building my real estate portfolio. I am wondering what my first properties should be for investing in. I work in Portland OR, and would like to find a property to invest in in the greater Portland area. Prices here are quite high, but I am wondering if perhaps I should invest in a one bedroom condo first using a 3% down payment. That way I can start building my equity and possibly find a roommate to help subsidize my mortgage payments.
But again, the hardest part for me is getting started. That's why I am posting this today so I can find some answers and possibly make some in person connections with other real estate investors. Thank you for reading this posting, and thank you in advance for your time.

House hack using the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America (NACA) loan program.
NACA was formed in 1988 and provides an affordable option for potential first-time buyers:
✅ No down payment
✅ No closing costs or fees
✅ No mortgage insurance
✅ No consideration of credit score
✅ Below market fixed interest rate
There are several requirements to be eligible, starting with attending one of their workshops.
I wish you all the best.
