If you are going to house hack then use an FHA loan. You can get another FHA loan if you refinance it out. But not sure if that is going to make sense to refinance out an FHA loan because of the low interest rate.

Oliver.
I'm a young entrepreneur as well and love the hustle. Just remember to stick it out. This game is a marathon. Not a sprint. Hang in there and get some deals under your belt. Reach out to me if you need any help. Good luck to you and your partner!

They still make good returns on their money, they can make $50k of profit on a project if you take into account realtor fees and profits. Most of them get their agents license and sell their own properties.
