The power in house hacking comes from two main things:- Reducing your housing expense- Primary residence financing The first one, sure I guess you could do that in some kind of commercial space.

Each has specifics, such as...houses newer than 93..can't back up to power lines...no retaining walls...etc.

@Courtney Olson I did this for my candle business but it could work for real estateMaybe offer Step Up  Payments too, as long as the number works, and hint at it helping wiht inflation and maybe combined it with an interest rate that is above typical inflation.A combo of something like 4% inflation to keep your same spending power as the years go, and we increase the payment by $25/month every 12 months so your spending power stays the same and you get a bit of a raise every year, then we could do a balloon payment in 10 years to settle the rest.Something like that could be an option. 

Start by educating yourself by reading up on real estate investing techniques.

Still sizable, but the power of the strategy will decrease.

if it truly is as powerful as you imagine, wouldn't the Brandon Turners of the world all own policies like this? 

This will increase the return above what can be obtained on a passive investment.The flipside of having the power to control everything is that it can be alot of work (and a full-time job if a person is putting in sweat equity).

Before the settlement and after this settlement, buyers always had the option to approach the listing agent directly with an offer, a power they've held all along.

Buyer's have all the power now.

@Andy Oshodi the REI business is hard but house hacking is one of the easiest most powerful strategies out there.
