Hi BP community, My tenant, who lives in a two-story, newer construction SFH complained of a water leakage in the bottom floor kitchen ceiling (through the LED lights).

Furthermore, it aligns with the growing trend of home improvements that enhance daily living while maximizing investment returns.

House Hacking Strategy: Living in one unit while renting out the other(s) is a smart way to offset your mortgage.

Starting with a small multifamily property is a fantastic idea—it gives you a chance to live in one unit while renting out the others, which can help offset your mortgage and build equity faster.

I plan on living in one side and renting the other side out. 

Even if buying a property Subto in GA and you live in FL, you could miss something and the whole deal does a "crash and burn".

Perhaps I have an odd case but I paid $1.35M or $455 / sq ft for a 3,000 sq ft duplex on a 7,000 sq ft lot in Los Feliz.Once I add the ADU complex, which will be around $350K, it will be a quadplex, 4,600 sq ft of living space. 

Usually living in it for a few years may be enough for it to cash flow positive when you move out.  

I used to live in the lower mainland but invested where the numbers work like Vancouver Island or Northern BC.

Built in 1905, this property features a total of 2,832 square feet of living space, divided into two units.
