Good House Hack Location in Los Angeles close to Pasadena

Hi, I just took a contract job in Pasadena and I'm not liking the rental options. I hate to sign up for a contract with a company to pay rent (Plus I can't be sure of this contract lasting). I'd rather find a 2 bedroom place to move in and VRBO the other room or rent it. As for commute times, I'm looking anything North East of the 101 for the most part to avoid long commute. 

I did a search on <450k 2 bed/2 bath and it seems like there are plenty. I'm thinking a condo/townhome/SFH that fits that criteria but would create high returns on a VRBO of the other room would make the most financial sense to me.

Recommendations?
