House hack. Too many arcane rent control regulations to trip you up. Too expensive.
I am not a fan of investing out of the area you live in as a novice. You’ll get fleeced.
Save your money and house hack in a few years. It’s not important to start fast or soon, just start when it makes sense in a conservative way.
