New construction duplex

[Destiny Hodges]

Hi I’m working on purchasing my first property. I will be house hacking and living in Houston. The property is a new construction duplex and the selling price is 350k. I plan on using fha and renting one side and having a roommate on my side. I am purchasing at market value and the home is about 20 minutes from downtown …. because I’m just starting is this too high? Should I wait or house hack and continue to lower my expenses by moving in and look for off market deals as I save more income.
