Continue renting after house hack?
I bought my first multi family over the winter that I had planned on house hacking. However, I couldn’t get out of my lease at the apartment I was living in, so I’ve been waiting for that lease to expire. Now, I’m being transferred to a different location for work (about an hour and a half away) and am seeking advice for my situation. Should I find an apartment close to my new work location and rent out both sides of my multi family? Or move in to one side of the duplex, driving a total of 3 hours per work day? I do have a tenant on one side currently, so there is money coming in from the property. I’m just curious if anyone has been in a similar situation before and would be willing to provide some feedback
