I've always compared rent-by-room to student housing.

Sometimes you can see from the newspaper that the exector is for instance John Smith, and the house has been put in that same person's name.

Seems like he had a podcast about a year ago where he discussed most of his investment concepts are somewhat dated right now and were really for a different era or economic environment.Probably what works best right now is rent by the room/house hack. 

You can just look for houses you like and run the numbers rather than focusing on small areas.As far as AirBnB, our market is fairly saturated so you really have to operate at a high level to stand out and/or have a really excellent location. 

I wonder how long the house-hacking trends holds out?

Maybe something Texasthemed or even Waco specific involving the university or the Silos, or aspecific theme for the house to name it after.

You can do 3.5% down via FHA loans if you plan to house hack a 1-4 multifamily.

I’m looking to house hack my first property and walked through a couple of properties that have a fair amount of square footage but only 3 bedrooms.

This includes, for example, public housing or other affordable housing.

Can you share the address and pics of the house?
