House Hacking your rented property?

[Account Closed]

I'm closing on a 4 unit property this month. One of the units has a tenant who is barely ever there. It sits empty most the time. I don't mind this- less wear and tear, however I'm wondering if it's possible to house hack a property that someone else is renting. How would you try to convince your tenant to let you house hack? Deal on rent? I plan on furnishing their space (currently is Blahhhh)... so they would also be benefiting from getting a furnished apartment. Do you think this is possible? I'd just love to make more money on this unit if possible.
