House hacking in Austin
Hi all. Looking to gain insight on house hacking in Austin, TX. This is my first foray into real estate and following the information gathering phase , it appears that house hacking is what i'm most interested in starting with at the moment. I do have some flexibility in my job and can work remotely but don't want to be too far from downtown Austin (within a 20-30minute drive).
An ideal scenario would be a multi unit property , I plan to reside in one of the units while renting the other unit/ units out. Looking for at least one of the units to be over 1000 sq ft . I am currently have a price range of less than 550k as a benchmark at the moment and plan to put down 5-10% . I am looking at class B neighborhoods currently in this price range. I would like to hear from individuals currently doing this successfully or more experienced individuals who are able to offer some advice.
Thanks in advance.
