Want to find the best place in the US for my first house to house hack with tech jobs in the area. Approved for a loan of up to 300k at the moment. Thanks all. Currently living the SF Bay Area.

Your $300k is based on your Bay Area income. When you move to other cheaper places, your income in that place may not qualify $300k. So better use an income number that is lower than your current one.
