Is the single-family market not the best fit for you?
No worries, consider long-term passive real estate with a multi-family investment property. This property type allows you to live in one of your units, have your tenants rent out remaining units and ultimately cover the mortgage and taxes on the property.
Concerned about what mortgage type you qualify for? FHA loans actually allow for multi-family purchases up to 650k (depending on property type). Houston has a viable market for multi-families and I have provided a link below to view.
