I have been looking for properties for months now, I am new starter, I am looking, at Dallas, Charlotte, Columbus, Atlanta and Denver. As I am remote worker, I will move to any place where I find good rental property, I can use one room and rent others. I am filtering properties based 2% or 50% rules,  looked at hundreds property, unortunately I couldn't find a single one that pass, the rules. Looking their mortgage and possible rental income, in most of them , you can see the rental income is almost same as mortgage.  I am wondering, with the current housing market,  is house hack or rental business is dead. I wonder, who is buying rental property while the rent can barely make the mortgage. Am I missing something, or this market is crazy  and it is not good time to go to rental business.
