Where in Houston is best to househack a small multi? (2-4 units)

[Jordan Decuir]

I’m looking to purchase a 2-4 unit property in the Houston area, and live in one unit for a period of time (probably a year or so) while renting out the other units. Then, move out and rent all the units out and keep as a rental property long term. Purchase price below $400,000. Where are the best areas to do this, in terms of safety and return on investment?
