18 years old looking to buy first property

[Levi Cartwright]

Hey everyone, I am 18 years old and moving out of my parent's house and up to Washington(I live in Nevada). I want to get started investing as soon as possible which will be my first residence as well (househack). I don't want to rent for any longer than I have to since I want people to rent from me. Any ideas that y'all can share with me I'd appreciate. I have about 20k saved up and my job is going to be paying around 86k and I will be recieving raises. 150k or so is my budget for my first home/investment and I think househacking is going to be how I start. What should I be looking for? Is househacking a good way for me to start?

Being 18 and saving up 20K for yourself is so impressive already. It's awesome you're getting started early. Househacking is definitely one of my favorite strategies especially for a new investor/
