Get a loan first or find a home
Hey Bigger Pockets! I'm looking to buy my first deal this year but have been having trouble finding a home within my price range (no surprise, hot market). I need a place to live so want to 'house hack' for some time and rent out some rooms. I was pre-approved for an FHA loan and want to officially apply for the loan but am concerned I won't be able to find a deal.
Should I wait to find a deal before meeting with the loan officer? I am in the IE area and would love some input. Hoping to find a home in the Ontario, Riverside, or Fontana.

you need to get per approved by a top shelf lending company that the local realtors know performs then go shopping.
