Trying to House hack, but "Tenants would like to stay"

[Alyssa Davis]

I am currently trying to find a SMF I can house hack in Sacramento, however all the units I've come across so far have "tenants that would like to stay" in BOTH/ALL units. Is there any way around this problem? Is there an easier way to find a SMF with at least one vacant unit I could live in?

Note: This will be my first property and house hacking a multi-family is looking like the best solution for me to get into the RE game, provide cheap/free housing, cashflow (at the very least, after I move out), and meet the FHA/conventional with <20% down requirements.
