Looking for Cash Flow Deals In Texas

[Nicholas Betancourt]

First time home buyer here, looking to house hack my first home. Using tools such as bigger pockets rental calculator really helps! But I haven't had any luck finding cash flowing properties. I'm noticing that with interest rates being at 7% the margin for profit is slim on most if not all properties. Any tips on how to find or distinguish cash flowing properties besides the 1% rule?

@Nicholas Betancourt

a house hack isn't supposed to 'cash flow.'

say you could rent for $1500, or you could get a mortgage for $2800 and collect $1400 in rent, so you have to net pay $1400 toward the mortgage.

you house hack.

you'd building equity.  with rent, you build no equity.

make sense?
