House hacking/Camper style.

[Evelyn Castillo]

Hey BP! So my current strategy is house hacking. I plan on buying a home that is livable so I won't have to invest much in it and rent it out while I live in a camper in the back or front of the property. Has anyone done this strategy/ or is currently doing so? I would appreciate any tips or heads up about this. My original plan was to purchase a multi-family but in my market, these are tougher to come by; single-family homes are much more abundant. For instance, I am currently looking at a property that is $295,000; move-in ready (It is close to me and I saw when they started the remodeling process). It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. I was considering a rent-by room scenario but this home is not located near any universities and I feel like it would rent mostly to families.  I know I am all over the place but I want to hear what everyone thinks based on their experience. Thank you in advance.

I’d say do it! But check with your current city codes first. It’s technically against code in my area but I know of a handful of investors that house hack with an assortment of RVs/campers. They make great money.
