I understand that this market is more inclined towards single families, but still I want to try and find a property that makes sense to me.

Hope you found a plumber John, I am looking to sheetrock and texture a single story 1600 sq ft house in the San Antonio area if anyone has any recommend contacts.

They can also have multiple homes under a single policy, keeping the cost low. 

So I'm looking at a deal with that is for 2 houses on a single lot.   

@Jacob Ketchum I’m looking at multi family houses or single family houses because that is what makes sense to me now.

Is it possible to successfully house hack or are we better to just buy a single family home and then invest separately? 

I'm currently flipping single family homes taking my profit and moving it into the next one. 

Landlord wants to sell 4 properties. 3 are Duplex, the other single family.

By renting out the other side, you'll have far less to pay towards the mortgage every month.This allows you to control a more expensive asset for less than it would otherwise.For example, buying a single family home for $350k with a 10% down payment and a 5% interest rate would give you a PITI of roughly $2,321/mo. 

 Does anybody know of any local realtors that work around Azle, Rhône, or Roanoke Texas that could help me in the search of my first single family home.
