Be patient and build the right way!

If you're set on house hacking this way, you have to be patient, be open to going through a wholesaler or finding off-market deals yourself, or go pretty far from the city.

I am patient that living off the cash flow would come a few years down the road, as the loan is paid and rents gradually go up and or rates go down.

If the goal is to buy, you are inherently not interested in being patient for the best deals, but rather your entire paradigm is centered on buying a "good enough" deal.

@Jaci Sattler when you cashflow will depend on the Property Class you target and how INTENSE & patient you are in looking for an acquisition.Many new investors think they have to pay close to market price for a rental.

You can also ask some of them what times of amenities and finishes they think their patients might need and if it’s not too costly, add those to the property before they even tour it. 

Take one step at a time, be patient, and enjoy the learning process.

What would you advice, should I go ahead and start out of state investing with section 8 why I continue to pay rent or patiently wait till I find a property in Houston to house hack (This will take some time away from my goal of investing in a certain number of units this year).Please share your opinion.Thanks

I would suggest that you go and patiently explain this fact and ask for what you need. 

Be patient, stay focused on your goals, and be prepared to learn from both successes and challenges.
