Relocating for a House Hack!

[Thomas O'Donnell]

Hey everyone! I'm looking to move to Texas within the next year and house-hack my first property! I'm currently stuck between San Antonio and Austin as my top 2 choices. I'm currently leaning more towards San Antonio as it is a bit cheaper than Austin and I feel it might have more room to grow (I may be wrong). I will be transferring with my current job and looking to house-hack a multifamily property (duplex/triplex) on a FHA loan. If anyone knows both of these markets well, or just has some great advise for someone who is about to start their journey, I'd love your input! Any response is greatly appreciated!

@Thomas O'Donnell both are great markets. Figure out where you want to live, who cares which market has better numbers. Your happiness is worth more than a few bucks. The reason I've been successfully househacking since 2016 is that I've always lived in the general area that I want to be in. This makes me want to do it over and over. I may flex a little bit on the neighborhood, but I never flex on the broader area.
