House Hacking in Leander/Cedar Park/Round Rock/

[Ali Hamdani]

Hey, I am looking to buy/build a new home in Austin to live in. I want to rent out the spare bedrooms in the house and I was wondering where I should best invest my money. I am looking to spend 400k on a house and I was wondering if I should spend it in either RR or leander. Leander seems to have nicer homes and access to the metro but RR is appreciating fast. I am putting 5% down so my monthly payments would be around 2k on a 400k home. If i have 4 bedrooms that means I can get 3 tenants. For a nice home in leander is it reasonable to charge 600-800 per room? How hard is it to find tenants to house hack? Any suggestions or tips?
