I'm already 35 y/o and wish I had done this sooner but it is what it is.Among the many niches, rental properties struck a chord with me because of the potential for passive income and generational wealth.Then I came across house hacking which I thought was a great way to pay for the mortgage.

I would take the money out of a retirement account if it makes sense.Yes - distribution from a retirement account will be subject to federal taxes, state taxes and penalties.However, it would be subject to federal/state taxes anyway when you take it out in the future.Therefore, the net difference is 'penalties'.If you can acquire a deal for less than 10% of FMV, you already stabilized your net worth.There is also a value in getting into real estate sooner(to learn).You may want to first see if you can do a loan against your retirement account first.Best of luck.
