Though, if I found a place with 2 units or a beach condo I could live in when the kids are with dad and use for vacations (over 50% of time) that I could Air BNB out, I could make an owner-occupied house hack.And, through the power of Google and FB, I'm now getting hit with TONS of ads for real estate training courses, hard money lenders, and services that are supposed to help find leads, but I know they are ads, and really need to figure out how to vet all this stuff.Any suggestions for someone very serious but just starting out?

Actually closed on this house while on a deployment (Active Duty USMC) and had to go through all the hoops of purchasing the home digitally and via a Power of Attorney.
