Hey thanks for the great feedback Daniel! You bring up a good point with the laundry situation. I think having separate laundry would be key to making it work for me. That’s something I’ll have to consider when looking for properties now.I couldn’t see myself doing laundry in the house when the other tenants are there. Would definitely be very uncomfortable.

I’ve found one property where the garage apartment is on the other side of the garage, all on the same floor, not on top of the garage like I think of when hearing “garage apartment”. It has a two car garage and thinking it may be worth while to turn half of the garage into living space for the garage apartment. More living space.

I’m looking to house hack for my first purchase, but am not really looking to share living space with strangers. Multi-family is definitely an option (and I’m feverishly looking for multi-family) but multi-family properties around Houston seem to be either too pricey or in pretty sketchy areas. Like the description says, if I purchase a place with a garage apartment, I would plan to live in the garage apartment and rent out the house. After all, an entire home would probably rent for more, and I don’t need all that much space anyways. Has anyone done this before?

Will there be another one of these soon? Would love to attend some meets ups!

Recently new to the real estate investing world and have loved researching it for the past two months. If anyone from the Houston area wants to meet up for coffee or lunch, I would love that! Cheers!

Hello everyone! I am from Houston, TX and new to the real estate investing world. Just trying to make some connections and build my network within the industry. Would be happy to meet up for coffee, lunch, etc. Let's talk real estate and hopefully I learn a thing or two from an experienced, knowledgeable real estate investor. Cheers!
