House Hacking in the Bay Area

[George Habash]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to house hack in the Bay Area. Currently, I am focused in Oakland, but I'm having trouble making the numbers work (hoping to have the tenants pay off the majority of  the mortgage, insurance and taxes) and being in a desirable location. I am already working with an agent. I work in SF and would like to be as close to SF as possible. Any suggestions or ideas would be super helpful. Thanks in advance.
