I'm also in the Bay Area, currently renting a SFH and seriously thinking about moving my family out of state to house hack. But with covid still going on, we're not comfortable flying yet. I've been eyeing Colorado and we would like to visit there prior to purchasing.

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to BP and would like to start investing in RE. However, my current situation is that I live in an expensive market (SF Bay Area) and I am currently renting a SFR. I have some cash saved up but I don't know if I should use that for a down payment to purchase a primary residence or do I use it to invest in RE and continue renting? Ideally I would like to house hack but since I live in an expensive market, I don't know if it would be worth it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
