However, I would avoid neighborhoods where the vast majority of the homes are owner occupied and all of the homes are really well kept - you can do a quick search on county GIS or software and click on the homes to see if they are owned in personal names or LLCs. 

The good news - there are plenty of family-friendly neighborhoods between St Paul and S Mpls which offer decent opportunities for a househacker - you just need to know where to look, what to avoid, and where the opportunities are (undervalued properties, under rented units, value-add opportunities).

This should be avoided. 

Hello,I’m located in Central Florida and currently house-hacking a new duplex.

I wish I had that in my first years and I am sure I would have avoided some pain and loss. 

Always make sure to have written agreements in place to ensure consistency and avoid misunderstandings.Good luck!

Quote from @Abass Aden: What are the most common mistakes new house flippers make, and how can they avoid them? 

Was able to purchase and clean up, but probably would have avoided the property entirely to avoid the headache and extra expenses.

I'm very careful to avoid publishing the addresses and the addresses don't appear in the videos or the photos. 

Hopefully future people will see this and avoid any RISK situation like this!
