Hello everyone I am in the process of funding a property. I would like to finance the property with an FHA loan and house hack while renting out rooms. I plan to live in the property for a year and fix up minor things on my own. The property is an old property 1826, the roof is near the end of its life. Will the roof be a problem while trying to qualify for an FHA loan? Is this a property I should consider for an FHA 203k loan? Thank you all for your help!

@Joshua Noth thank you for the feedback. Do you think it would be better to narrow down the criteria even further as you expressed? Or would I be better off with a more broad criteria. 

@Kevin Romines thank you for the insight I had never heard of that loan option. I will definitely shop around with different lenders. Thank you! 

Hello everyone! I am starting to work with my Relator on finding a Single Family home to house hack. What are some criteria I should look for? I have the area pick out, the price range and the condition of the property I am looking for. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Finding the first property in my real estate journey seems impossible!

I have been studying and listening to the podcasts from BiggerPockets. As well as reading many books on real estate. Trying to get started in North East Ohio. Any advice on the area. I have been studying and building my capital to get my first property. I am thinking about getting a duplex or a single family. Any advice would be great. Thank you!
