It's going to be pretty dependent on the house to think about what you can expect.

House hacking is a great beginning step in investing.

Hey there @James Colgan - Love the idea of house hacking a duplex!

Because you are forcing equity into the house you are sometimes able to pull back out the entire purchase and rehab process to return to your investor then you own the home with just the mortgage.

I recently purchased my first duplex in Peoria, AZ in September and I am using it as a house hack where I rent out one side and live in the other.

We have been working in the affordable housing space for some time, and this allowed us to partner with the local community and provide a housing solution they need as their city continues to expand with new jobs they are successfully bringing to town.

Purchase price: $220,000 Cash invested: $30,000Currently house hacking.

My family and I are about to move in to a house hack!

Anyone in NWA looking to house hack a 4plex?

@Heather Bailey When house hacking with a separate rental unit, ensure proper insurance by obtaining landlord or short-term rental coverage tailored for Airbnb activities, in addition to your primary residence policy.
