STARTING OUT (House hacking, where to invest, advice)

[Freddy Espinoza]

Hi all,

This is my post on this forum. Happy and excited to interact with this community! 

Here is where I stand and this is my question:

Just like us all, my goal is to reach financial freedom. I am a bartender and still live with my parents. I have capital saved but no high salary on a w-2. I have no properties so I would qualify as first time home buyer. 

Should I move out into a house/duplex and house hack? What would be your advice to me to do in my situation?

Thank you for your time!
