House Hacking- Any Advice Please

Posted

Hello, 

I've been approved for (max) $575,000. My goal is to purchase my first multifamily property before the end of this year. I will live in one unit and rent out the rest. I have a Tesla and I think it would be good to leave the home charger connected for any future electric vehicle tenants as well. 

I just don't know where to start. I'm open to a fixer upper or something more finished. I'm also open to living in Northern NJ, Rockland, Westchester, or CT. 

Does anyone have any guidance on which area I should start in? Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you, 

Chris

When I was searching for my house hack I was priced out of the area that I wanted to live in Multi Family. I ended up purchasing the largest square foot home I could afford in the area I wanted to live. I rent room by room and make more from rent than I would if I rented the place itself as a regular rental. @Jake Handler I second to not exclude single family house hacking, but I realize that it is also a lifestyle that not everyone is willing to live. Best of luck on your house hack!
