House hacking in Philadelphia

[Paul Bogard]

Hey guys, was considering house hacking here in Philadelphia - Pennsylvania.

Got approved for a mortgage, found a local real estate agent and started visits.

The best way to cash-flow here seems to rent out bedrooms in single family homes. My real estate agent doesn’t seem familiar with that and didn’t tell me about the 3 people outside of family circle max requirement in single family zoning.

I also need advice for renting finished basement legally and make more bedrooms, experiences and tips are more than welcome as he didn’t seem knowledgeable.

Shall I change of real estate agent and find someone more used to this type of practice ?

Any recommendations ?

Any experience in the city ?

Thank you.
