Small multi family vs renting out rooms

[Logan Andersen]

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear people’s thoughts. I live in south austin Texas and I want to break into the investing game. Ideally I would like to start with a small multi family and live in one unit and rent out the other. It’s hard to find duplexes near austin that I would like to live. With that being said would it make sense to buy a single family home and rent out the rooms?
