I am looking for a first time home. I would like to house hack with either roommates or a multi family. I tried to explain this to my realtor but she didn't seem to understand what I was talking about. She is also advising me to a house that she has listed over others that I've asked about. Is this a red flag. Should I try to find a realtor in my area who better understands my goals. Am I maybe just being too impatient. Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice.

Hello, I am new to real estate but have been researching for a few months. I would like to invest in buy and holds and I'm thinking a house hack would be the best place to start. I am currently renting and my lease lasts until September. my question is should I move forward and buy a property and end my lease, or wait until nearer to the end to buy. I plan on getting a single family and renting to short term employees near my W2, unless I find a multi-family, in which I would still rent by the room but the other unit would be a standard rental.

I look forward to comments, advice and constructive criticism, thank you!
