Best area to house hack in Houston?

[Caleb Hood]

Hello,
Moving to Houston over the next few months and looking to house hack. Already pre-approved for $550k for an FHA 203k loan. Please recommend best areas in Houston that meet the following:

- 10-minute or less commute to Baylor Medical Center

- Areas with distressed 2-4 unit properties (intend to use an FHA 203k loan to live in 1 unit and rent out the other 2-3 units) that I could purchase and renovate for less than $550k at most with good ARV upside

What I'm seeing online is Third Ward for the most part? True? Opinions? Connections to the local market?

@Caleb Hood Hey Caleb!  Sounds like 3rd ward or Eado to me (Eado might be more like 15 mins).  I've seen a few fixer uppers small multis on wholesaler lists...not sure if one would come up in your timeline though.  Feel free to connect if you need any help here!
