There is usually a close overlap that gives you a competitive advantage of knowledge or boots on the ground instead of nothing.

I also like the Byram area.

@DeWitt Gibson, hope this message finds you well.

I'm now looking to house hack in Dallas or the surrounding areas (likely Arlington) but am a bit stuck on how to run the numbers.When calculating cash flow on the my duplex in Indiana I took into account PITI, vacancy reserves, maintenance and repairs reserves and utilities to get down to my net cash flow amount.When running the same calculations using 5% down on the house hack, I find myself quite a bit in the negative.

Well that's good.

I have done well in the construction industry and am now in a position to pursue real estate investing full time.

@Gavin Wynn Not trying to be negative just don't want you to get stuck in the rabbit hole like countless others and then take no action.  

Fellow Community: I am excited to join this platform and learn from like-minded individuals about the real estate space, especially STR, MTR, and long term including section 8.  

But, if you want to be nice, give them a warning after the first one then start the process the next time it occurs.  6 times in a row means it's probably time.However, if they pay every month and you are collecting your late fee as well... 

I am not looking to house hack as I am already well established in Phoenix metro.
