Trying to house hack for the first time

Jacob Rodrigues
Posted

I’m 24 years old and I’m trying to buy my first house hack. I have a full time job of 4 years and I make about 50k a year, I have 25k to put down. I’m looking for any advice and help to find something and get approved. I talked to a mortgage consultant who is a family friend and he seems to think I’m far away from being ready to buy. I’d appreciate all the help I can get. Thank you

Jacob Rodrigues - use FHA to buy a “too big for just you house” and rent out rooms. I bought a 5/3 at 25 and got paid $500/mo to live in my own house.
