House Hacking in Newport

[Peyton Holtz]

Hello, 

I am an investor with several investment properties already (all in NC). I am in Newport, RI currently, and am ready to house hack an MFH immediately. Looking for a Triplex or Quad that can accommodate several families (no 1/1 units).

Can anyone recommend an investor-minded agent in the Newport area? What about a Property Manager, Contractor, Handyman, or Banks (want use my VA loan option)?

Also, can anyone with experience in the Northeast with older homes give any advice? Things to watch out for? I have always lived and owned homes in the south, most built much more recently than the average home in these old New England towns. 

Appreciate the feedback. Hope to take down a great property before New Years!

I saw in another thread this morning that @Collette Douglas, who's been active here on BP for a while, is a Realtor in the Newport area so she'd definitely be another good resource to connect with - either as a potential agent or just as another like-minded investor to build your local network.
