@Jesse Hodges

Scranton taxes are pretty high for the area so make sure you include that in your calcs.

Does anyone have personal experience with a Fannie Mae mortgage loan? I plan on house hacking within the next couple of months in order to take advantage of the low rates. Any information at all helps!

@Jaysen Medhurst I liked what you said about the MFR, specifically for when I decide to move out. I will definitely keep an eye out. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

My name is Austin and I am a 22 year old structural engineer. I am a first time home buyer looking to house hack in the Scranton/Dunmore PA area. I'm looking for a 3-4 bedroom single unit, and I plan on living in one of the rooms so I will qualify for a FHA loan. I want to find a place that isn't a complete fixer upper but also needs some work. My main goal for my first deal is to get a hold of the buying/mortgage process so I can take on something more intense for my second deal. I've been researching for a couple of months now and I'm getting anxious to jump into my first deal. If anyone has any insight to give on my situation I'd love to hear it!
