First time homebuyer trying to source first house hack

First time homebuyer 

22yo Male 

Currently trying to source my first house hack - where did you find your first deal?

I’m in the Chicago area, I wouldn’t mind if I had to cover up to $1,000.00 of the mortgage. 

A top priority is proximity to the downtown area given I don’t want to drive to work. 

Current stats:

Credit 750+ with a good mix of credit cards, student loans, and auto loans. 

Income: $70,000-$80,000 

Total monthly expenses (vehicle+ Student loan min payments) $750

Based on this I am looking for something in the $275,000-$400,000 range

Where would you look?
