Have you House Hacked in LA?! How’d it go?!

[Peter Williams]

Really interested to hear from folks who have House Hacked in Los Angeles. What type of property? What part of town? Any numbers you’re willing to share?

Hi Peter, 

We really wanted to find a property to house hack. But came across a couple of issues:

Property prices are so high, we would use significant capital towards down payment. It would leave us at a very tight budget for renovation costs. 

Plus we currently do not have connections with contractors, and therefore we don't have a way to accurately budget the costs or time. 

In the end we decided to pursue a duplex in South Bay that is move in ready. Would be interested in others experiences as well.
