House Hacking Stories

[Nicole Jones]

I'm interested in ALL house hacking stories from investors but I'm most interested in those stories and/or advice from individuals working in larger cities with rougher markets (ex. LA county). I started out as an investor of a multifamily in Fresno, Ca. and have lived in one of my units off and on. To me the house hacking strategy is a prudent one. 

I am looking to accomplish this same thing in the more scary market of LA and am just curious of other people's stories... including financing, landlording, any important lessons learned etc. 

Any house hacking stories from any market welcome! TIA
