You can live in it and rent out the bedrooms and be super profitable, but you will be more uncomfortable.

They aren't uncomfortably hot. 

As Jill F. stated, if notorious I would mention it as it'd probably come out and many people would be uncomfortable living in a place that Manson followers slaughtered people, but generic suicide I'd not mention. 

I include that to convey that I am very willing to take risks/live uncomfortably for a prolonged time if it means setting myself up to avoid a desk 9-5 as much as possible.The question:I am looking at buying a 3-4 unit (largest I can) multi-family and house-hacking.

Although I am buy no means anti-dog as tenants.It's just that cats a quieter, they don't bark all day long while their master is at work.They don't rush you and bite a chunk out of your leg, and they bury their waste.During due diligence for instance, I will not hesitate to go into a unit with cats in it, but some dogs make me very hesitant to go in.I strongly believe in the no puppies, no vicious breeds, and no dogs that make management uncomfortable policy. 

In return they give me renters, true, but they have routinely taken my money and given it to my guests without being logical and reasonable. 

That makes people uncomfortable, but it can also shift your mindset.

Additionally, covid has made our family really uncomfortable when close to other people. 

Routinely doing a lot of work on proeprties for $5-$15k with this method that would take weeks and weeks myself (and only cost half as much) or be $20-$25k+ hiring a project manager or GC.Good Luck!

We now routinely average $500+ per door per month… and sometimes much higher if we get a great deal!
