Multi family cash flow in San Jose

[Hyeonji Oh]

Hello,

I am reading a Multi-family millionaire book right now, I am curious if it is possible to make cash flow in San Jose by living in a multi-family unit and renting out another. It is ideal to build up an asset as the book says but the house prince is insane in San Jose!

Currently, I live in San Jose and work in Silicon Valley. I don't have a primary home or investment property. If househacking is possible I would rather buy my primary house using a low down payment for first-home buyers than invest in other properties in Sacramento, Modesto, Fresno, etc. Any advice is welcome! I feel I am lost and don't know what I should do.
