House hacking vs lease to own

[Nick Efaw]

Hello everyone! My name is Nick and I recently joined BiggerPockets! I am new to real estate investing and would categorize myself in the gathering knowledge stage still. I should be making my first investment into real estate within the next year and have a question that I hope some people can give me feedback on. I have the options to lease to own my current house that I live in from my parents. My other option (which was my original plan) was to do a house hack. With both options I plan to rent out the property's extra rooms. Which route should I pursue?
