@Kenneth Quattrocchi I'm in the Denver market, which is also pricey, but many house hackers will rent by the room in our market. I would check with local rental laws to see if they have caps on how many unrelated occupants you can have in one unit. But just as an example: From a numbers perspective, my 5 bed 2 bath is bringing in ~$3750 (rent by room strategy) versus if I were to rent it out as a single family home... ~$2700/month.

property taxes in denver are much lower than Texas, but I would look into this strategy just in case! Best of luck :)

 Right. This would qualify as "getting creative" for me :) I was wondering/hoping if some were able to rent by the unit (2-4 unit) and still cash flow

@Kenneth Quattrocchi You are looking for a needle in a haystack my friend. You are trying to buy something at the top of a red hot seller's market! The only way to find a deal that works numbers wise is to know wholesalers, investors and people doing deals off market. Even then I'm seeing "off market" deal prices continue to rise and rise. There are definitely deals out there, but you have to know someone, put in the time and be flexible because it's a seller's market and they want top dollar for their property.

South Florida is a red hot seller's market as well, but it's much easier finding deals that could work there. Adding an extra $500-600/mo in property tax makes a huge difference.

Does anyone have any experience or insight into traditional house hacking or small multifamily rentals in large Texas markets? With the high property taxes, I'm finding it very difficult to get anything close to cash flowing fully rented without doing something creative. I'm looking at Houston in particular, but I imagine the same goes for DFW, Austin, San Antonio, etc.


How can you use 3D virtual tours to leverage your business?


HOTEL OWNERS: Attract visitors with an immersive virtual experience showcasing your property

PROPERTY MANAGERS: Decrease vacancy rates and increase returns with lower tenant turnover time (bonus tip: a 3D scan can serve as a digital “walk-through”, an exact documentation of the property at the start of a new lease) 

AIRBNB HOSTS: Stand out from the competition and increase revenues by bringing your beautiful home to life for prospective guests to preview 

REAL ESTATE AGENTS: Acquire luxury listings and sell properties FAST! Expand your market to long-distance and international investors

Does anybody have any experience or familiarity with piggyback loans? Are there any special qualifications (looking at small multifamily)? I'm reading that the smaller mortgage usually has a higher interest rate than the larger mortgage--what might be typical interest rates for someone with a credit score of 760+?
