What has been the hardest part of finding your first house hack? 

If you are house hacking or have house hacked in the past, what has been or was the most challenging part? What did you learn and can provide to a first time house hacker that is looking for more resources? 

Check out the BiggerPockets Youtube Video "House Hunting Hacks for the First Time Home Buyer" for the latest House Hacking news!

Hardest for me was finding a multi-family that had big enough rooms for me to feel good giving to my friends in exchange for their hard-earned money. A lot of the older duplexes in my area have bedroom that are just so damn small. I would've felt bad sticking my friends in them.

The duplexes that did work out I was outbid every time. Eventually after 6 months I said F it and got a 5 bedroom single family with larger rooms. We're all happy in it and the mortgage is completely covered, so I'm happy on that front as well
