Going to Buy my first House-Hack Property

[David Tuma]

I'm 21 in the military about to buy my first ever property in VA, after wanting to get started in Real Estate Investing for a long time. It's intimidating but I have done all the research I can think of doing. I'm going on a short deployment (Navy) before-hand. My agent and I are aiming to be in contract with a seller a week before I get back. I've done my due diligence but i'm still completely new to all this (including this forum) Any tips, resources, etc. are very welcome. One question I have is should I get a quote for a loan and interest rate, then take it to another lender and see if they will do better? It's sort of hard because I won't have the best internet on the ship, but if it's worth it then I will try. Maybe my agent can do it? Very new and excited to get started, any info will help.
