House Hacking Advice

[Ari Pendleton]

Hey...complete noob here looking to get my feet wet with investment rentals. I’m currently stationed in Japan but headed to America in March. My Fiancé and I are hoping to get started in house hacking for our first property, however, looks like we might be headed to Northern California. I have been using Zillow to get an idea of what’s available. But looks like $500-$600k is the going rate for 3-5 unit properties. I’m wondering if this a smart first investment opportunity or should we go much smaller, Or even just single family in the time being?
