I have 2 in Galveston right now but if you are working in Pasadena that might be a little too far for your tastes.

I am not trying to scare you away from wholesaling, but read this article to get a realistic taste of wholesaling and helping you to figure out where you want to go in Real Estate and help you find your "Why":  https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2016/01/27/started-wholesaler-read-this/.  

I've been listening to lots of podcasts and I really want my first taste of investing to be house hacking a multi family.

House hacking turns what is normally a liability (your home) into an asset, as well as gives you a small taste of what being a landlord is like.I'm looking forward to finding the right property, learning some handyman skills along the way, and doing anything that is safe and reasonable for myself to do to save some money.  

Sweat equity....tastes so good!

Personally, I would put the tub on the lower wall, and the toilet on the same wall as the sink, to the left of it (leaving the sink where it presently is).The placement of the window within the shower would seem to create far too great a potential for water penetrating the wall around the window, not to mention that it just seems odd (perhaps that is just personal taste)

Left a very bad taste in my mouth.  

Visit the hub of each neighborhood and see which fits your taste.  

Foul tasting glue. 

There is also a taste or lifestyle factor.
