Current interest rates: worth house hacking, or better to wait?
I'm currently looking to get a 3x1.5 SFH. However, from running numbers, due to interest rates increasing, every "deal" so far is showing me that I would lose money. Would it be better to just get a 2x1, and rent out one room to at least get started in REI? I don't want to lose even more buying power and miss out as rates get higher. However, I'd rather not share a bathroom, and also don't want to have a difficult time selling a 2x1 SFH to a family in the future (with it not being at least a 3x1.5).
