I am new to REI. I am finding it really hard to house hack with mid term rentals in the Houston market. The neighborhoods close to the medical center area are not good neighborhoods. My family cannot live around there. I have a little bit of nest egg. Should I just buy a single family home(because I presently still rent) and just find other locations for mid term rentals?

Please help

I am brand new to real estate investing but I want to invest in my first property this year. I am based in Houston TX.  I am looking to buy a quadruplex and house hack for the first year, here in Houston using MTR strategy renting to travel nurses. But my challenge is,  from my research so far I am not seeing any properties that make sense or are close to hospitals, or are very expensive if there are any. I know I can invest out of state but I am ready not ready to house hack in another state at the moment since I have a family.

Another strategy I am looking into is section 8 investing. What would you advice, should I go ahead and start out of state investing with section 8 why I continue to pay rent or patiently wait till I find a property in Houston to house hack (This will take some time away from my goal of investing in a certain number of units this year).

Please share your opinion.

Thanks
