TENANT OCCUPPIED....LOW RENTS ...........UGH!!!

[Patrick C.]

Hi everyone! I am looking to purchase a duplex, triplex or quadplex to house hack while obviously showing good numbers. In my areas of search (Hagerstown and Baltimore MD) I am finding what I think are awesome deal after  doing my homework. Main roadblocks i encounter are low rents and all units are tenant occupied. I know there are laws behind honoring such leases, but what if they are on month to month? I want to live in one unit.....and raise the other rents to market value. What strategies does everyone suggest?
