Hello, everyone! 

My name is Parker, I am newly married and have fallen in love with Bigger Pockets! My wife and I are looking to purchase a multi-family property in the next coming year to house-hack and start our portfolio! 

I have a large construction background, and currently I am a small business owner operating in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I am also very open to doing renovations and house-flips in the future.

I would love some tips/advice on how you all started your journey, and what I should expect! 

I am only twenty, so I don’t have a super large capital to start with, but we have been saving for the past couple of years for our first down payment. 

Anyone else with experience in multifamily house hacking I would love to talk to and learn more about it!

Have a blessed day!

@Parker Matheny Recommend you house-hack a 2-4 unit property.

Buy with 3.5% down FHA loan - you can even use the FHA 203(k) option to roll-in renovation costs!

Rent out the other unit(s), try LTR, MTR & STR to find your groove!
