House hacking in Southern California

[Laura C.]

I'm interested to hear if anyone is currently "house hacking" in Southern California? Specifically the Inland Empire. Where did you buy? In what condition did you buy your property? How far below asking were you able to get the property? Does it cash flow or help cover your housing expenses, and if so, how much? 

I'm in the process of looking for my first deal, and in such a high price market, I'm having a hard time finding things in my area. Would love to hear a success story or 2 if they're out there!

Thanks!
