I'd like to brrrr and hold long term and it don't make sense for me to do it in my market due to high cost of homes.

I don't know how you're going to swing that anyway as you're going to need to have your DP when you come to closing and it's pretty likely, unless you have some seriously high assets and no debt, that the loan you take for your downpayment is going to kill your ability to get bank financing. 

I recommend exactly what you thought about in your post: househacking.Easiest way to get started, lowest barrier to entry because of low down payment needed, and a great way to get a feel for investing while having it in your backyard.Use the BP tool to find an investor friendly agent.

Are their listings detailed with good-quality photos?
