Hi everyone, the situation:
I currently live and work in California (my job is very California specific) but with the astronomical rents eating into my earnings and the downward decline of the state, I am looking to purchase a house hack out of state. I am currently looking at Arizona because it is only one state over and I have always loved visiting there...
The only problem: I cannot work remotely. Although it is only 7 hours away, the commute time is obviously not reasonable. The AZ home will be my primary residence and I will live there whenever I’m not working/in between jobs.
And the house will be put under management from the get-go despite my living there.
I am wondering if anyone has been in this situation: Work in one state, house hack in another?
If so, how did you make it work, especially in terms of lodgings in the work state so it didn’t negate the house hacking benefits?
I’ve read Craig Curelop’s comprehensive book but it doesn’t address this specific situation. I
already have several thoughts on how to do this, but I do feel like I’m missing the silver tuna of options... Any help?
Thanks everyone!
