help financing a house hack?
Hi!
We (my boyfriend and I) just barely qualify for a multi-family that we wanted to fix up and live in one side as a house hack. We planned on using a first time home buyer loan. Once it's all fixed up and we can charge more for the rent on the other side, we will be fine.
Any ideas on how to get creative with financing? We finally got a multi-family under agreement and I'd hate to give it up because of this!
My brother also is an option- he has a lot more money saved up and can qualify for the property on his own.
any advice would be greatly appreciated!
