Luxury house hack using a rental

[Barri Griffiths]

As most people on here, I was looking to house hack my next property. And actually decided that I wanted to do a luxury house hack, as I wanted to upgrade my life. The plan was to buy a house with a casita, as I don’t want any roommates. But I’m realizing to find all the things I want(casita, pool, 2500+sf, area)and get a good deal will be extremely challenging. And I’m not willing to put down a down payment, on a property that I can’t create value with. So the question I have is has anyone ever rented a property with a casita, and used the casita as an air bnb?

I have also considered buying a property with a 3 car garage, and converting one part of the garage into a a casita type area. Has anyone ever had success doing this?
