Anyone successfully house hacked in the San Marcos area?
Hey everybody!
I'm currently a Texas State student so the idea of house hacking to live on a reduced or zero cost obviously has a nice ring to it. The problem is the inventory in San Marcos is almost none from what I have been able to see. Would love to hear what other people who do business in the area think, thanks!

Haha, good memory @Seth Teel!
My wife and I moved to San Marcos a few years ago and at the time I was hoping to find a duplex to house hack in. Unfortunately, we never found anything that met my wife's standards - haha. We ended up just renting and only lived there for about 8-9 months while my wife finished up her masters.
As fast as San Marcos has been growing, I imagine it would be hard to find a good deal...but if you do you will be set as I think the whole I35 corridor still has a lot of growth left! Good luck @Cody R.!
