I'm considering a house hacking strategy in the greater Houston area, ideally within a 30-minute drive of Rice University (including Fort Bend County).

So, there will be some strategies closed to you unless you are a cash buyer.

If you are looking for great areas to cashflow and very reasonable ARV's that allow for value add investment strategies, I can't reccomend whitehall enough.

I've house hacked two properties in Reno, NV and it's a phenomenal strategy. 

I am currently focused on tax strategies for our LLC (partnership with spouse).Can we sign a lease agreement with our LLC to provide/pay rent for use of our personal home/property, to include a portion of utilities, HOA, and insurance?

Is there a creative exit strategy I am missing?

Love jumping in at an early age but hate the strategy and risk lol

Don’t wait forever house hacking is a very forgiving strategy!! 

Because without the W2 income, you're going to have a hell of a time buying anything.Better strategy?

doing some research for an upcoming presentation, and as a hands-ON investor, it can be hard for me to really put my 'hands-OFF hat' on and compare passive investing vehicles without any bias. i'd love to hear especially from those who have tried multiple strategies, which of these you lean towards most & why:- syndications- REITs- private lending- being a hands-off capital partner- buying from turnkey companies (not sure i'd call this passive though)...
