What's up everyone! I'm posting this because I am thinking about house hacking my first real estate purchase and would like to hear what tips/advice you guys have for me. 

Here some information about myself to help you understand my current situation. I'm a college graduate (May 2019) and have plans on attending graduate school (PT or PA) within the next couple of years. I'm currently renting an apartment and my roommate is off to medical school this summer. I would like to start putting my money into an asset that I can leverage for future investments. I live in Louisville, KY. I do have a significant other but we are not living together. I am definitely open to sacrificing some things like comfort and room size. I like to think I live a minimal lifestyle. I try to save money were possible and don't spend on things I WANT, but will spend on things I NEED.

I would like to hear from you guys. Any information on tips/what to expect/how to buy/loan used etc...will help!

@Ismael Candelario welcome to BP! i am too looking into getting into house hacking. I have found much of my learning through many podcast and books! Bigger Pockets has some great books they released like Managing rental
properties and Househacking. Additionally after every guest interview on BP Podcast guest share their favorite books. As for more insights about my local area, meetups have been great!
