Advice for House Hacking in Salt Lake City

[Sam Hicken]

My wife and I are looking to buy a duplex/house that we can house hack in the next 6 or so months. Does anyone have advice for house hacking as far as areas to look for properties or ways to find tenants in the Salt Lake City area?

Sam, My wife and I purchased a house last year and renovated the basement into a separate rental unit. The process has been pretty easy for us. There are side by side duplexes available at times as well, but they seem to sell quickly. For this reason, we found a home with a mother in law apartment that was able to be converted into a separate rental unit. We found our renter through Zillow and have been happy with the situation. Have you started looking? What areas would you like to be in?
