New to Texas - Markets for Multi Family Properties to House hack

[Bryan L. Ramirez]

Hello Everyone,

I am a first time investor and CPA from California working to start my investing journey by investing in multi-family properties. I am considering out of state investing opportunities, and would like to explore investing opportunities in Texas. My initial strategy is to house-hack with an FHA loan on a duplex/triplex and scale up from there on my second and third properties. What markets in Texas (Austin, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio) would you recommend are the best for multi-family homes (2-4 units) in the $250- 600K range? Thank you in advance for your advice.
