Wanted: Multifamily for house hacking in Dallas

[Alan E.]

Hey Dallas BPers,

My apartment lease is up in spring of 2019. I want to buy a 2-4 multifamily unit using an FHA loan and make it my primary residence.

I work downtown Dallas, so I want to be within a 15 minute drive of a DART train station. Ideal dart stations are Mockingbird, Bachman, Burbank, and Cedars. Anywhere near the red/orange lines south of 635 would also work. I also fly a lot, so West of downtown Dallas, towards the airports, I would also be interested in.

Can you recommend neighborhoods that I should focus my attention on within Dallas city limits? Also, what websites should I search to find available multi family properties?

If you are flipping one of these, or looking to get rid of one, or know of anyone who is, I would be very interested in buying the property.
