House hacking question

[Colleen Arends]

Hi everybody, I read in a post today about house hacking. But instead of living in the house to follow FHA guidelines the person used their 1/2 of the house for their office and wrote it off as an expense? I live in Ohio and am not familiar with the rules yet. Lots to learn. Can anyone tell me if this would be legal in Ohio and what percentage of the house could be written off legally. I am currently in a lease and can't move to a house I might buy so this sounds like a good idea to me. Thanks
