Huntsville AL House Hacking

[Casey Cole]

Hello BP! I am a young engineering professional living in Syracuse, NY and am planning on moving to Huntsville, AL in the next couple of months. As someone who is still young, without a family, and with a bit of savings and a steady income, I was planning on house hacking in Huntsville. However, it looks like there are not a lot of multi-family homes in the general area (there are currently three on Zillow right now). After that, I was going to begin looking into BRRRs.

Any advice? I still want to house hack but I’m afraid that the supply is too low and I won’t find what I need. Should I sign a 12 month lease in an apartment for my first year while I look for my next house?
