Any “house hackers” in the Pomona area?

[Ray Ngo]

Hello, I currently live in Irvine, CA and planning to move to Pomona (near Cal Poly) soon this year for work. Please let me know if anyone currently a house hacker (via MFR or vacation rental) in the city of Pomona, Walnut, Chino, Clairmont, Covina, West Covina, San Dimas, La Verne, ...?

@Ray Ngo My wife and I recently bought a 5 bedroom house in Pomona with the intention of house hacking. Pomona is one of the few decent areas in LA County where you could conceivably house hack your way into a monthly housing payment of less than $500/month buying off the MLS. The house had been on the market for several months and the price was recently reduced. We ended up getting it $15k below asking with 5% down and will have a smaller mortgage payment and larger yard than we did living in Southbay. Rooms rent for $600-$650 and there should be no shortage of potential renters with 3 colleges and metro station nearby.
