House-hacking tips and ideas in the Houston area

[Arjun Dhand]

Hello BP family! I am relatively new to the group and am currently looking for a primary residence I can house-hack in the Houston area. I would prefer to remain inside the 610 loop or maybe just outside on the North, West and Southern sides (I still hear mixed reviews about East of downtown). The traditional MF house-hacking strategy does not seem to work in these areas of the city due to low availability so I am curious to hear what others have done/ or helped people do in order to successfully house-hack. Thanks and I look forward to making connections in this group!

Have you looked into finding a SFH that can be converted into a duplex?

Or possibly do SFH and rent by the room route if it is hard to get in with the typical MF HH route
