House hacking a BRRRR ? Multi family with BRRRR ?

[Nick Mazziotti]

Planning on doing my first real estate deal using the BRRRR method, however I would need somewhere to live. I was planning on purchasing a duplex using the BRRRR method, this way i can house hack and live in one of the units.

A lot of BRRRR examples I have looked at are most single family homes. I don't want to try do to much in one deal and don't want to go backwards.

Has anyone done anything similar ? Is there any added risk ?

Or should I just focus on single family and forget about house hacking.

Any feedback is helpful !
