starting out in real estate

[Sibo Ju]

Hi all,

I am looking to buy my first property to house hack with my wife and not sure where to start. I've been looking for months now and I can't seem to get any good deals around west houston. Single family homes are flying off the shelves and not even sure if nows a good time to do a BRRR since renovation costs are going through the roof and supply chain choked (uncertain if renovations will finish on time).

Now I have been thinking about getting a more expensive, renovated property in uptown or downtown houston and airbnb it. Any advice would help!
