Im 20, Should I be Buying BRRR Properties or House Hacking?

[Tyler Heath]

Point being Should I just buy a property and rent it out till I need a room myself then house hack it or should I just wait till I move out to buy a property and House Hack then? Really don't know what I should do because I know I could potentially be losing equity while my money sits in a CD. But I also don't know what COVID is doing with renters or if the market will crash, yada yada yada.

Side Note: I am definitely Able to buy Right Now. I live in Utah and the housing market is pretty High/Competitive so finding the ideal property is pretty hard but doable.
