Quote from @Naz Hossain: If you require a security system, it may not be the best community to invest in.As a Tenant, I would not use a WiFi security system that the previous tenant or Landlord or hacker could access.

For all you potential (and current) house-hackers out there - Freddie Mac announced recently that they are expanding their lending guidelines for conventional mortgages to allow rental income from Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) for both purchase mortgages and no-cash-out refinances for single family residences."

Asking all of these questions will also help you determine if they know what they're doing when it comes to working with house hackers.

In my experience working with house hackers and investors, the majority of the questions center around financing the deal.

:)@Kenneth Honer The issue you're running into is one that is a common battle house-hackers face... convincing an underwriter that you really intend to occupy the property.

Or the FHA loan was their only option at the time.Honestly, the best thing to do would be to speak with a lender who has worked with house hackers before and have them help you devise your strategy for your next purchases.

It’s never really too early to start making these contacts.When it comes to Realtors, they will help you identify which areas of town are good to invest in and what to expect in rents, quality of tenants, how to analyze deals, provide you with investing opportunities (both on market and off market).In my experience working with house hackers, the majority of the questions center around financing the deal.

Hello fellow house hacker!
