Hello, I'm 19 and planning to buy a duplex in the West Palm Beach area to house hack. I want to receive any kind advice to make this purchase and maintenance as easy as possible. I'll take any advice from Loans to Closing Costs. Thank you in advance :)

Hey @Bryan Ferrufino! Congrats on taking first steps! Definitely reach out to a local lender(s) to get a feel for what terms you may qualify for and the costs that will come with purchasing, a HomePossible/HomeReady loan or an FHA loan are great options to get into a househack with low down payments. They'll be able to give you best next steps as well if any are applicable for "better" qualification/terms. Happy to connect and assist with any general questions! Best of luck!
