Farm House Hacking
So I'm working on doing some wholesaling for my first couple of deals, but long term we want to do buy and hold rentals. I know house hacking is a good way to get started, but we have 4 dogs (mainly large dogs) and a horse and there's no way we could live in town (I am trying to sell the horse). Has anyone house hacked a working farm? We're in San Antonio so most people want to be in town, but there are quite a few large ranches outside so there might be a market as well as a rodeo that goes from March-November in the small town just north of us in Bulverde, Texas. Is this even something I should consider or probably just a dead-end?
