Newbie - Ready to Jump into Market (Help!!)

[JaMaal Gassett]

I am brand new to real estate investing. After listening to some podcasts, I have decided to house hack and purchase a multi-family as a first-time home buyer. I lucked out and can participate in a 0% down mortgage up to $850k. I am a traveling healthcare worker, so I can live in anywhere in the country.

I have seen some multis in FL, but they all are so expensive for a turn key property. 

What advice would you give for someone starting out? Which markets do you think I would get the best deal? My plan is to live in one unit for the minimum amount of time (1 yr I believe) then keep acquiring properties.
