I have 100k ready to invest in my first househack, is it doable in fresno/clovis Cali
Does anyone have advice after looking at homes it seems impossible?

You have to define what "doable" means for YOU.
I've house hacked twice in Reno, NV and it's changed my life in a relatively short amount of time.
I was renting every room in the house and at one point split half of my room with a curtain and rented out the other half to my 68 year old co-worker (I ultimately do not recommend this...)
But, the more uncomfortable you're willing to be, the more "doable" it will likely be. It's definitely not sexy or fun, but the unfortunate reality.
Don't mean to sound harsh, but amazing job saving $100K and I wish you the best of luck!! You can make it doable.
