House Hacking In San Diego?

[Van Schillinger]

Hey All,

This is my first post on here and I am relatively new.

My girlfriend and I are looking to move in together in San Diego California at the end of August. Rather than throwing money at rent, I figured I would look into house hacking. 

I am a Financial Advisor and have seen first hand the amount of wealth it has created for several of my clients. 

The issue is, it seems inventory in San Diego is extremely low and even with the high interest market, prices are not moving much leaving very little opportunity. 

Has anyone had any recent success in the San Diego area, and if so what strategy did you use, and how did you approach it?

Ideally I am looking at a 2unit townhome or SFR, with 2b2ba in each unit with a budget of around 1mm and 3.5% -5% down.
