Looking to do a house hack soon but looking for the right deal.Maybe I am over thinking this but I don’t want to do a house hack on too cheap of a property, downpayment so low that doesn’t really make sense to do this.

For low cost staging I typically buy a few items at TJ Maxx or Home Goods.

  (1) Follow your mortgage broker's advice and go with a low down payment on your first deal. 

Quicken has a bad rap with investors because it advertises low rates and then has massive closing costs.

If you need funds to also rehab an investment house flip there is a 30 year fixed rate loan for that , also at 15% down.Rates are still low today so I would say use the banks money at a low 30 year fixed rate and retain the security of your equity in your personal residence.

Was the offer of 175k low?

One is a low risk,  low margin strategy.

Hey one question I didn't see anyone mention, how are the investors closing costs so low?

Normally when they don't counter, my offer is too low - per my agent.

@Angello CampbellCap rate is really low.
