Has anyone ever House Hacked in Southern California

[Miguel Horta]

Hey BP Fam, I am looking to buy a Duplex in So Cal. Most likely San Diego Area or Orange County. I just wanted to ask if any of you have done a house hack deal here. I want to see if it possible to get my half of the rent down as much as possible. If you have done it, is it better to have one long term tenant, STR or medium Term Rental. I want to have as little monthly rent as possible on my end.

Any insight will be appreciated.
