Is House Hacking Even Still Possible In Nashville?

[Wayne Woodson]

I am trying to buy my first duplex in Nashville and almost everything on the MLS is $300k and up. The few properties I've seen below 300k won't accept FHA or conventional. In addition to that these things are currently rented at $800 - $900 a side. I'm no math major but that doesn't add up to 3k or even 4k a month. Has anyone else been able to buy a duplex recently in this market that does cash flow? Should I just give up on house hacking?
