House Hacking and Understanding Zoning Laws

[Benjamin Rosemont]

My wife and I are planning to house hack and want to be sure we can legally do so before making an offer on a property. We are looking in the Salem, OR area, and I'm having a difficult time getting a straight answer about the zoning laws here. Is there a definitive source - such as a website, book, or person - I could go to for answers?

Thanks!
