Any successful house hacking stories from Houston?
Any successful house hacking stories from Houston? I'm in the market and looking but it's not looking good. Prices too sky high and numbers don't work. I am not trying to gripe because I know I will need to MAKE the deal rather than just stumble upon one. But I am just curious.

Im house hacking a 3/2 SFR in Southwest Houston using the BRRRR strategy. Renting out one room to my cousin and the other to a friend and their rent covers the majority of the property expenses. When I move out and rent it out to a family it'll cashflow. Went a little overboard on the rehab since I'm living in it but overall it's working out and its keeping my living costs low. Here's a few before and after pics and I'm open to sharing the numbers as well if you'd like.
