Hi @Mario Gonzalez,

Welcome to BP!

House Hacking is going to take a Loan officer that is familiar with FHA, FNMA or Freddie Home Possible. Also, someone that owns multi family that can understand the objective.

Community Banks, Credit Unions or Regional Banks are a good place to start. Pricing is usually very competitive and there could be an opportunity for a present/future bank relationship as you financially model up with your real estate portfolio.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards.

    Local banks and credit unions would be my first go-to. Avoid large national banks as they have excessive demands and review processes. I never go to a mortgage broker, but I'm sure one of them on here will guide you in that area! Personally, again local banks and credit unions are my first target.

    look at all your hard money guys in your area

    depending on what you want to do you can get an approval now then tie up the property then roll to a refi and long term loan

    its easier to get a loan of your liking after you make the purchase

    enjoy
