Huntsville AL House Hacking

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?

Definitely don't wait! A lot of the 2-4 units trade off market so you're going to want to join facebook groups for Huntsville area real estate. You'll find some properties that aren't on Zillow being posted in those groups. You can also look to connect with wholesalers in the area. Last but not least, you can always buy a list of 2-4 unit properties, skip it and make some cold calls.
