House Hack: Understanding Tenants

[Shiraj Haque]

Hi BP nation.

I’m relatively new the real estate game. I just finished Craig Curelop’s “House hacking strategy” book and it was definitely eye opening with a lot of great info.

One thing that has always concerned me however is the following:    

 1. Is there a way to tell if a prospective   property will receive interest from tenants? Ideally would like to avoid paying a whole mortgage myself.

2. I could probably afford the mortgage myself but it would take up roughly 60-65% of my income. Is this a sign I should not house hack?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Shiraj
