New Real Estate Investor Looking to House Hack in Atlanta

[Tyler Luk]

Hi there, 

I just moved to Atlanta couple months ago and am thinking of house hacking in the Atlanta area. I am an aspiring real estate investor and am looking for guidance on whether to house hack in a SFH or multi-unit properties. Looking at the MLS (zillow, realtor), I don't see that many multi-unit properties that makes sense numbers wise (ie not close to covering the mortgage). However, I do see a lot of SFH but I would need to find roommates to rent by the room to at least cover the mortgage and maybe even cash flow a little.

If any investors local to Atlanta area can help give tips on what neighborhoods are good areas to house hack and if they house hacked in SFH or multi-unit, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you!
