How to househack in Roseville

[Lance Metsger]

Hey Everyone!

Just moved to Roseville, CA and am looking to househack to save on expenses and get started on real estate investing.

My original idea was to buy a halfplex, triplex, or quaxplex and live in one unit and rent the other(s) out. Upon crunching the numbers, it appears this will not cover the entire mortgage

My next idea was do get a place with a mother-in-law suite and walkout basement and rent those units as an STR to increase revenue. No dice here though because Roseville does not allow accessory dwelling units (mother-in-law suites count for this as well as walkout basements) to be rented for anything less than 30 days.

My last idea here is to use the mother-in-law suite and walkout basement as a MTR to traveling nurses. Do you know if this is done in the area and if there are any laws/regulations that inhibit this? Are there any strategies that you have used that work well to househack in the Roseville area?

Thanks in advance!
