House Hacking in San Diego

[Rachel Rocconi]

Hi all,

I'm an LA based agent planning on moving back to San Diego this summer, and eager to buy my first property to house hack. Ideally I'd love to buy a duplex that needs some work, but I'm finding that most of the active listings are fully tenant occupied. I would not want to kick someone out in order for me to move in - wondering if there are any creative strategies you've used in the past to avoid this?
