Hey BP Fam,

Thanks for all of the support the past couple of months. So I’ve come to a fork in the road regarding which property to jump on for my first house hack (as a side note I plan on Airbnbing one room and living at my parents house for free):

- 3b/2ba SFH home that's older (built in 1945) in a great neighborhood imo (Southwood Oaks if you're familiar with it) OR a 3b/2b town home in EADO or near the medical center. I also potentially might be able to get a duplex but I'm currently trying to find a loan that will approve a young new investor like myself.

- I know town homes come with HOAs and other risks, but my agent stated that at my price point, it'll be difficult to find a SFH in a great neighborhood. Seems like the only new builds for my price point are in Sunny side and the East 610 area which my agent stated not to but there for my first property.

A lot of uncertainty for me currently in this post so any and all advise or comments are welcome. Thank you all so much.
