What's with Small Multi-Family Listings in Central TX?!
I'm househacking in OH right now, moving to TX in 2 weeks and looking to househack there as well. What's with all these "Multi-Family" properties on the MLS, but then you click on it and it's just one side for sale. I am confused. Is Dallas a tricky market to househack in a SMF? Any advice?

Quote from @Denver McClure:
Hey @Trenton Brown, unfortunately you'll see several multi-families that are incorrectly listed on MLS, so you'll need to look closely. I've househacked several properties in Dallas and I still believe it's a great market to househack if you can find the right deal. You might want to expand your scope to search for SFH+ADU, and live in the ADU portion. They are really popular in the older neighborhoods surrounding Dallas. Nearly a half dozen of my clients are looking for their next househack or MFH in DFW right now, so just a piece of advice....move quickly!
I'd suggest speaking with an agent who also househacks. @Matt Solis can help!
Thank you so much Denver. Super helpful! I will connect with Matt
