First Dallas House Hack

[Kami Ellies]

Hello I’m looking to purchase a single family home that I can house hack this year. I am new to Texas and the high property taxes. Should I be worried about the taxes and can I still be lucrative with them? Also what are some good areas that I should look in? (Doesn’t need to be in Dallas) Budget wise I am looking at 215k max. I want to be able to carry the whole mortgage on my own to be safe.

Any advice or experience is welcome!
