House hacking is the most powerful way to get started in real estate investing, and it sets you up for success because you learn so many things: dealing with contractors, how to screen tenants, lease negotiation, but most importantly, your goal should be to reduce or eliminate your housing cost, and there are a lot of ways to do with house hacking depending on your flexibility with strategy: rent by room, Section 8, mid-term rental, STR, etc, and you can combine multiple strategies too. 

Some are even getting creative with their deals, using strategies like seller financing or joint ventures to reduce their dependence on traditional loans.It’s definitely a challenging environment, but with the right strategy, there are still plenty of opportunities out there.
