Purpose-Built for House Hacking

[Jerad Graham]

If someone developed a new property specifically for someone to buy who would be house hacking, what are some of the main things you would want to see in the property? Duplex, Triplex, Quadplex? Room counts? Amenities? Obviously it's market-dependent, but I'm curious about this community's wishlist.

House hacking properties should have features like a quadplex with 3-4 bedrooms, flexible layouts, private entrances, and amenities. Energy-efficient features, soundproofing, shared amenities, and local zoning compliance are crucial. Location is also important, as house hackers may seek properties near public transport, schools, and restaurants. FHA eligibility is also important for financing. The ultimate goal is to maximize income potential and tenant satisfaction.

Good luck!

What amenities would you look for in a quadplex? I don't see many with any amenities at all and building them into a budget with only 4 units usually isn't feasible.
