Hello SD folks,

I'm about to move out of my rental ADU ($1.5K/month) in the next month or two, because the property I'm living at was recently sold to another owner. Looking at the rental market, the rent is outrageous. I can't really find anything decent for less than $1850... which makes me think about possibly look for a duplex or a single house with an ADU (or built one?), then househack live in one (ADU) rent another. I'm fully understand that will not generate positive cash flow but I rather pay to own something than paying hefty amount on rent.

My biggest issue is that I only have $45K in saving, would it be possible? Do you guys have any recommendation on good local real estate agents who specialize in "househacking" and can advise me on this? 

Thank you so much
