House Hacking at 19 years old. Buy brand new or a fixer upper?

[Gabe Chase]

Hi, my name is Gabe Chase and I am 19 years old and I am looking to get into real estate investing by house hacking. There aren't too many properties in my area that jump out to me as comfortable to live in or that are turnkey and ready to be rented. So I looked a little deeper and stumbled upon a new neighborhood being built and I remember on episode #392 of BP Todd Baldwin mentioned how he buys new construction houses and rents them out by the room. This is exactly what I am aiming to do with friends. I am writing this post to get everyone's insight on house hacking, the struggles/rewards? Should I buy brand new or look for something with some work that needs done? Really any advice! Thanks everyone! Stay safe and stay healthy!
