Who has House-hacking experience? I need to talk with you.
I am going to acquire my first property shortly and I need some questions answered about house hacking and the process from start to finish

@Jack Carrozzi yeah, a realtor will be able to show you 2-4 unit properties (that's what we filter the search by - the number of "units"). Now, the realtor will need to know you are qualified...and that's where a lender comes into play. One thing I wish I understood was that the income of the property would help me qualify for more of a property. I started out house hacking...so that was a while ago now...and the internet wasn't really a thing. So, finding out information was harder and I just purchased the property I thought I could afford rather than purchasing the property that was supported by rental income. It all worked out though. No complaints.
