House-hacking in Queens, Brooklyn or LI

[Steven Clevenger]

Hello all, 

I am not a new landlord but professional opportunities have me moving away from the Midwest to NYC. I am wondering if it is even possible to house-hack effectively in NYC or LI? I would be happy to break even(live rent free) given the market. I have been house-hacking for the last few years in the midwest and it was an absolute gamechanger in terms of my finances after years of renting in Los Angeles. Do any of you have experience in this market. Thanks!
