Newbie Looking for REI's Advice on House Hacking in Current Market

[Martin Munoz McGrew]

As a background, I have continued educating myself through books, podcasts, blogs, forums, webinars. I have built my own calculator to analyze deals (mostly to have a deeper understanding on the process) and used this calculator to analyze multiple properties. Finally, I plan to attend local meetups to build my network. 

Currently in a stage of saving money to afford purchasing a Multi-family property so I can house hack (this would be my first ever property so I plan to use an FHA loan).

I would love some insight on the market for multi-family properties in the South Houston area. In this stage of saving, what advice do you have?
