Buy rental now or house hack next year?

[Jordan Wharton]

Hi everyone, I'm a 22 year old living in Akron, Ohio. I'm the marketing coordinator at a company in the area and living at my parents as I save money. With that being said, I will be getting married next year and plan to house hack with my wife. Would you recommend buying a property now to rent out then buy another next year to house hack or just wait until next year and start with the house hack? I'm eager to get started, but it seems like house hacking is a good way to ease into real estate investing
