@Mitchell PetroskyHere is a structured approach to house hacking, including getting pre-approved for a loan, identifying an ideal investment property, building a trusted team, researching and making offers, managing the property effectively, and overcoming common challenges.

So I worry about the gotchas.Thru research I already found the one about getting signed acknowlegement of Tenant's Rights and Responsibilites. 

I haven't done much research on the market but I have seen a few people start to mention it more.

Reality is many bad events/outcomes was done with risk and/or stupidity including poor research.

However, I researched the market and for Class A or B+ 90+ unit property, the overall cap rate is about 8.7%  (as of 3rd qtr 2024).

Respectful (most) people who just need a little help getting on their feet.This post gave me a good starting point to do research into the program and how to set up housing with them.Thank you! 

I can also point you to a ton of resources if you'd like to do your own research.

I researched the areas best suited for long-term rental.

That was extremely informative , I’m going to be doing some research on this information 

I’m especially interested in house hacking as my first investment since it seems ideal for building cash flow, reducing expenses and gaining experience without heavy initial capital.Questions & Market Focus:I'm still learning, but I’m starting to research these four markets to understand which may be the best fit for house hacking.
