If the property is vacant, you will attract a larger pool of buyers as not everyone looking for a house wants to use it as a rental.

Buying a large new build home can also work well as a house hack as you can charge a premium rent, and generally most bedrooms built now a days have en suites (at least in my market).  

Not only do we find the housing market to be a little more manageable, but a lot of people travel there year round. 

I work for a local house flipper in the Greensboro area (Winston Salem).

I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased.

But you should be able to target that upper demographic segment and still move a house in a few months if you are in the correct markets.

Consider house hacking when rates and prices are a little more balanced with reality.

There are a few Dundalk neighborhoods I'd stay away from but for the most part it's a great area for house hacking/BRRRR.

I could tell the Airbnb I visited in developing countries all had hidden cameras in the house.

These areas are experiencing significant development and population growth, driven by families and professionals seeking more affordable housing while staying close to the job hubs in Plano, Frisco, and even parts of North Dallas.
