Newbie Looking to House-hack
Hello all,
I have recently moved to Houston in the last month because I have accepted a job downtown. I would like to purchase a small multifamily property to househack so that I can get off on the right foot towards financial freedom. I have been looking in the EaDo and Northside village areas since they are close to work and also seem to be areas that are becoming revitalized with a lot of newer construction and small businesses.
Any tips for other areas where I should be looking?
Does anyone know of a good investor friendly contractor since I will likely be purchasing a fixer-upper?
Also, I would love to network with local investors in the area. My job is pretty intensive throughout the week but I would love to attend weekend meetups or even just grab some coffee or lunch.
Thanks in advance for the replies!

Brian Hatcher we have a great group of investors and BP members that get together monthly at the HIT meet up. I’ll be scheduling the next one this week.
Let me know if you have any questions.
