Mike Manchello Ready to House-Hack at 24 — Seeking Advice on a 7–10 Year Path to Financial Freedom

Saving 5k per month for 10 months is 50k - typical multifamily properties require 20% down - on a 400k property, that would be 80k, not to mention funds for closing costs etc..You could get into a single family home for 3-10% down on a first time buyer program, which is a bit easier, but the challenge would then be to rent out each room to house hack - depending on the layout of the home this could be doable (but may not be ideal - something to think about).Ultimately, you're on the right track - keep doing what you're doing, keep your eyes open for off market deals, create a habit of checking properties in the market you want to be in daily.
