Want to do House Hacking but not possible where I live

[Vandana R.]

Hi so I’ve been searching for a home I can house hack in within my pay range for about a year now in Seattle. It feels impossible so was thinking about what if I just got into my first home like even a super affordable condo or townhouse just so I can stop paying rent to my landlord and then in a year maybe rent it out and find something better etc where I can maybe do the house hacking.

My question is if I can’t do house hacking and I want to live in Seattle is the next best thing just try and get my own place so I stop praying rent? Thank you in advance.
