House hacking in 2024?

[Gavin Snowhite]

Hi I’m 20 years old and I have recently started learning about investing in rental properties. My goal is to own/live/rent a multi-family home within the next year or two. I do not have the finances to make a down payment on any property at the moment. I plan to work and save about $25,000-$35,000 for a down payment on a multi-family property (most likely a duplex) using an fha loan. I want to know if this is a realistic plan to start my investing journey. I am worried that my property expenses will leave me in the red because of the current costly housing market.
