https://www.redfin.com/CA/Los-...Lola,I'm a realtor who works with house hackers, and I was literally analyzing your duplex with a client on Monday!

Wondering if there are any other Indianapolis House Hackers out there?

Hey BiggerPockets, I'm a (soon-to-be) house hacker in the Salt Lake City area in Utah.

Typically, house-hackers are able to pay the same amount (or less) than they previously paid in rent.

Also, even a 0% VA disability rating will save you on closing costs when using a VA loan.Something all VA house hackers should keep in mind, REFI out of your VA loan before you move, you will get a much better interest rate when it is still owner-occupied, learned that the hard way. 

It might be plan “A” or Building “A” an unidentified building.  

I personally would recommend staying away from condos as the association rules can be problematic for house hackers. 

If you're a single-family house hacker in AZ I would really love to hear anything about your experience that you care to share!

Second, I think now is a great time to start looking for your first house-hack, especially with 30 yr rates being at or near historical lows.My opinion, perhaps biased, since I'm a house-hacker myself (and NJ real estate agent) is to focus on buying a MF to house-hack, as opposed to doing a flip (already a risky proposition, but even riskier now) or investing long-distance, since you have no experience or an out-of-state network or "team" you can partner with or trust.Meanwhile, as house-hackers, you can put down as little as 3.5% with an FHA loan, and can probably get your net housing costs to be lower than your current rents. 

Great property for House Hackers, Business Owners or Extended families wanting space and proximity.
