Househacking in Austin, TX market. Need expert advice!

[Austin Berlick]

Looking to be within 20 minutes or so of downtown Austin, TX and running out of options that fit in my budget. I have roughly $30k to put down and finding SFH rent by room is my best option in this market. Is the investment/purchase worth it if I'm still paying $1000-1400 to live in my own home with 3 roommates. I've found a new construction 4B3.5B I like… I'm currently paying $1800 in rent. When I move out of the SFH and rent out my room, I'd be breaking even or losing 200-300/mo. Duplex/triplex is out of the question… nothing on the market that fits what I'm looking for. Thoughts?
