I am ready to purchase my first few properties in Chattanooga.I travel to Chatt fairly often but would like to have a more solid feel for the area in terms of where to place my first investment, I am currently looking in Red Bank.Though I don’t plan to rent immediately..I will likely house hack for a year (ideally with a MIL suite or basement) and rent it out afterwards while I then focus on getting a stronger foothold in wholesaling.

i am house hacking my first property: i keep it simple. flat fee for monthly rent, calculated utilities into fee. hope that helps!

My only advice really is to work with an agent that has house hacked before or is known for helping clients with house hack deals.

I'll echo everything from @Brandon Rush above.Personally, I build my rental portfolio through house hacking.

Hey BiggerPockets community im looking to House Hack in the Houston,Texas area and need recommendations on a great real estate agent and property manager from investors in the area?

@Fernando Limon congratulations on taking action in your search for real estate house hack deals.

Digging into the ingredients to this soup we're stewing and the complexity of righting the ship would make even the fuzziest wuzziest little bear a bit bullish IMO

@Matt Friesz - Can you house-hack it with a FHA or low down payment conventional loan?
