House hacking newbie

[Jaylin Warner]

Hello BP needing some advice. Currently I am pre approved conventionally but cant find any small multi family in my price range. There are some a bit more that I am approved for but I'm wanting to stay under 200k if possible.i even been looking in low income areas in fort worth but no luck really. All I'm able to find are deals outside fort worth like Ennis ,waco , witchita falls ,ECT. I'm looking for a mortgage payment I know I can handle myself in worst case scenario. 

this would be my first purchase, any ideas on what to do and how to find them ? 

My goal is house hacking.

Congrats!! Awesome way to think. I've house hacked twice in Reno, NV and it's completely changed my life. 

Explore using seller credits to aggressively buy down your rate to make the payment more comfortable. 

It sounds like the payment is more important to you than the price. 

Here's my story, and what I regret house hacking starting at 22 years old:
