I have been doing a lot of research into HouseHacking and determined that this is a strategy that I want to move forward with as I move from Boston to work in the Irvine area. I would be looking towards south LA or northern OC to live. I'd preferably look for a 4plex living in one unit and renting out the other bedrooms in the unit I reside in. I plan on using a FHA loan to fund the deal and use any extra cash to complete any remaining rehab.

Any suggestions on where to begin my search, and who to connect with? I’m not certain I know all the factors to consider in living in this new area.
