House Hacking With a Partner

[Stasik Popov]

I'm considering doing a 50:50 equity partnership with one of my associates and was wondering if it's possible to structure a househack in a way where I would be living in it (for at least a year) while my partner does not. Does anyone have any experience of structuring a deal like this?

Would we still be able to take advantage of owner occupied financing and put both our names on the title/loan? Would we still be able to draft up an operating agreement even if we don't get a loan within a business entity (LLC, trust etc..)

no reason at all to bring this much complexity in

just save up until you can both house hack separately
