While you are willing to work with them, they are apparently happy to live rent free and don't seem to care about you.I had a long term tenant (5 years) who stopped paying the rent.

However, if you are profiting over 6 figures, the property might be too expensive to live in order to truly house hack.

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

I retired in my mid-50s and live a comfortable life, grateful every day for the path I chose.Looking back, I’m forever thankful to my partner who encouraged me to take that leap of faith and move to Ohio.

Just thank your deity that you don’t live in a rent controlled city/state.

Send me a message if you want to chat in more detail (background is in live in flips, LTR, MTR, and STR).  

If she is worried about her gas bill, she apparently can't afford to live in this unit.

Yes 1k sqft is small but probably much better than living with family.

Now, three years later, my tenant reported cracks in every room—paint cracking and full-line cracks in the bathroom, living room, and bedroom (walls, ceiling).A drywall contractor looked at it and said it’s normal wear and tear, but I’m concerned since it’s in every room.

They live in a semi HCOL area called Torrance (house is in a good zip code 90503).
