House hacking drawbacks - taxes and other issues

[Garrett Pettit]

Does anyone have any advice for dealing with back-taxes and the risks/drawbacks of house-hacking a primary residence as an investment property as well? So many people say house hacking is the best way to start, but I want to hear real experiences from those who have done it: lessons learned, especially with regards to taxes, homesteading, and other tradeoffs that may have to be made.
