I would start speaking with residential / commercial agents and property management companies close by and get a feeling if something closer by will meet your criteria.

You're likely better off attending your local REI meet-up to see if you can find an investor who has house-hacked or is currently house-hacking their primary home.

I would just start out by meeting with bankers, telling them your goals and mentioning some of the ideas you had(FHA vs conventional) and ask for their advice.

It is maybe a couple hundred dollars to join and you can attend numerous classes and meetings.

Then you can consider researching and finding something that meets your needs better.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Great to meet you.We source from four primary suppliers: Lowe's, Home Depot, Floor & Decor, and Amazon.

Would be great to reconfigure the lot lines on the two additional parcels so they'd both meet the minimum to build.

We hosted meetings at The Home Depot in Belleville, Il prior to covid.

Therefore, I prioritize pre-screening applicants to ensure they meet the qualifications before arranging a showing.
