We would buy this house all cash. 

House hacking is often promoted as the easiest way to get into real estate—buy a property, rent out part of it, and let tenants cover your mortgage.

We plan to buy a second house as well.

Quote from @Sundone Boutvyseth: Looking to buy a single family home and use as a STR on Airbnb.

Hi I am 18 years old and I've been really interested in Commercial Real Estate investing since I was 16 and I don't much about CRE investing and I would really love some advice on how too start funding your first property, and where I can learn CRE investing,  I've also been thinking about joining the Air Force so that I can buy my first commercial property using the VA loan and continue from there and buy more, but I don't know if that's a good idea or not.

You’re going to have to buy at least $1M (or whatever you clear after selling costs.), worth of replacement properties, not $500k.

Airbnb is a company so the only way to buy one would be to own stock in the company. 

Determine what type of property you want to buy - What Zip code, what condition homes, price range, etc.Contact 3-4 realtors that helped buyer agent buy the type of homes you are looking to buy.Then go with the 1 realtor that you connected with the most.
