As long as you don't expect to get something way below market value.Just my two cents as a very active Realtor in Northern NJ that works with a lot of first-time buyers/house-hackers. 

I have done 2 house hacks myself when I first got started in investing and have helped around 20 new house hackers in DFW get into their first property!

Hello 👋🏾 - 1st time extremely excited House Hacker!

@Bryce Hacker what did you decide about this house?

Hi BP community. I'm a rookie investor looking to do my first deal with house hacking. One of my biggest concerns moving forward is landlording. For anyone that has house hacked before, is there anything different abo...

Also, I just confirmed with my lender (who has helped MANY house hackers) that you can do 3.5 percent down on FHA with a non-occupant co-borrower.The easiest, fastest, and best way to get answers to your questions will be to sit down with a lender (or 2 or 3). 

You have some good advice here and some spam, but most are missing the most important thing for house hackers right now if they are using an FHA loan - it's vacancy.

If any of the properties are 2-4 units try to get one to move out and sell to a house hacker.

I was struggling to find good deals on SFHs, duplexes, tris, and quads because I was competing against a wider group of investors (homeowners, house hackers flippers, BRRRRers, and flippers) who were either shopping all cash or had owner occupancy financing.

@Chace FraserOnce he moves in there is a no cause 60 day notice allowed through a 2 unit house hacker exemption.
