Small MFU South of DFW

Jennie Ballard
Posted

My husband and I are trying to find our first unit to house hack. Prefer bigger than a duplex but not huge. Husband will do day to day tenant and property management while I'm finance and research side.

Our main location constraint is my W2 job. I'm  engineer supporting plants in Cleburne and Ennis (~1hr apart). That limits us to south side of metroplex: Burleson, Joshua, Cleburne, Mansfield, Midlothian, Wauxachie, etc. We have 30k available and my credit score is about ~700. Just not seeing anything on loopnet, relator, zillow <$800k that is multifamily and not already under contract.

Is there no market or do I just need to be patient?

@Jennie Ballard you absolutely, 100% must get prequalified and be on a realtor emails to find a multi-family property here in DFW.  If you are relying on Realtor or Zillow the properties will be gone by the time you get notification of them being for sale.  Speak with @Joe Funari he can certainly provide some assistance here. Hope this helps in some way.
