Hello Everyone, 

My wife and I are looking to purchase and house hack our first investment property. I spent a few months analyzing duplexes in the Conroe, Texas (North of Houston) area and was unsuccessful at finding duplexes that would cash flow given the current price points. I can't come close to the 1% or 2% rule and cash flow seems hard to come by. 

I've recently been looking into the co-living (rent by the room) strategy on single family homes and am exploring scenarios where I could house hack and do that at the same time and am running into similar roadblocks for anything under 5 bedrooms. Anymore than 5 bedrooms and parking becomes a serious bottleneck. 

Any suggestions? Is it worth purchasing a property to house hack that doesn't cash flow all that much and wait for inflation to increase my rents and equity? 

Thanks in advance! 

Excited for this one 

Love it!

This is awesome as a rookie hoping to get started I'd love to attend!
