What is the ideal start to a house hack? 18 year old.

I'm young and want to start my life, I'm a forex trader and have been aspiring to become a REI. I've studied a lot over the past few years, but don't know where to start with a house hack. Any insight in any degree will be a great help! Thank you..

@Joe Aquilina.  Save, save, save.  But to start I would look for a house that you qualify for alone and can afford with no roommates.  Then, find a roommate, or two if possible, and collect your rents.  Use those rents to save for another property.
