I am new to the game and using the FHA loan has just seemed to be the most common way to house hack (at least in terms of what the resources I have read have said). 

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

I'm new to the real estate game and have heard a lof of good things about Propstream and Dealmachine.

Keep in mind of the I/O(payments/period) and game plan on how fast you'd like to pay it down.
