Right now I have two properties live.

Quote from @Juan Perez: Greetings,My first home was paid off over a year ago, and I am now living in my recently purchased 2nd home.

.: I live near Nice France half the year.

@Isaac TerryIn terms of it being worthwhile, just like most other markets out of state if the barrier or entry is too high where you live, the landlord laws are not favorable where you live, and you are looking for positive cashflow then Cleveland can be a good option.

I also pay my mortgage for the house I live in.

I’m looking to start in DFW since I live in Arlington but eventually I’ll be open to other markets to diversify my portfolio.  

Or paying off my debt, while I provide them with a nice house to live in instead of an apartment. 

What zoning code could I request a zoning variance or rezoning that would allow us to have the 2 livable units on parcel, one primary residence and one additional living unit (known currently as ADU)?

If you're going to start in a market you're eventually going to live in, I think that's a stronger case for that market."

If you aren't going to be living in Texas then it would be tough to do a house hack there.
