House hack a house or a condo?

Mary Ainsworth
Posted

Hi all! I recently asked a question if I should house hack (in San Diego) a condo to get started now (I'm 22) OR should I wait until I have enough to buy a house and house hack a house? 

I only have 50k saved up now which can get me a condo, but would probably need to wait another 1-2 years to have enough to put a down payment down on a house + have enough reserves 

I'm only considering trying to get a house instead and wait because they appreciate more over time and there's more room to add value down the line - I can add an ADU to a house and won't ever be able to do that with a condo...please let me know your thoughts!
