As Rick said, it's possible everywhere. 

The main "goal" of house hacking is subsidizing or completely eliminating your housing expense through renting out other portions of your home. 

The better deal you find, the closer you can get to living completely free, or even cash flowing while you're living there. 

What people tend to think is that you can just buy a move-in ready property at top dollar and expect to live for free. 

That's rarely the case, That's why the focus always needs to be on deal finding. Especially if you want to be a RE investor long term.
