Or if you plan on staying in the property for a while, some people aim to just pay less than their current rent.In a real estate market where housing affordability is a major concern, house hacking actually stands out as an even more valid strategy than ever for buyers.

My wife and I would remain renting in our current apartment and we could easily afford to cover the mortgage indefinitely if/when it would be vacant. 

I would study the different real estate investing techniques that you could comfortably afford to get into and find the one that interests you the most and go for it.

Quote from @Tom T.: Hi all,Here is the scenario.61 years old.

Home values typically fall between $150K–$200K, which provides a solid balance of affordability and appreciation potential.

Property prices are still very affordable, which makes it great for BRRRR or buy-and-hold strategies.

I'm looking to start off in areas with lower costs coming in, preferably under $100k single families but definitely under $200k.These markets are particularly appealing for novice investors, especially those from California, as they offer more affordable options compared to local alternatives.
