House hacking in Melbourne,FL

[Carly Oliff]

Hi. I am for guidance on house hacking with a family in Melbourne FL. I want to buy a multi family property to cover mortgage costs so I can spend more time with my infant. Are there any experienced house hackers in my area that can provide some advice?

I currently own a single family house in Viera that we are looking to sell or rent out to purchase the multi family. However, renting out our home would not cover the cost of mortgage and taxes. We'd still have to pay roughly 500 per month. I've thought about renting out rooms in our house but the HOA doesn't allow this. Also, there aren't many multi family properties available in our area. So I guess I'm not sure what to do.
