I’m happy to share insight.

I do NOT rent to any real estate agents, brokerages, or property management companies as they would be a competing business and it wouldn't benefit either of our businesses to share a building.

Then start sharing your expertise in small posts every day, at least one post.

House hacking can reduce living expenses but may limit roommates or share space.

I would generally agree with the other posts from @Jonathan Greene, @Drew Sygit, and @Danny Gonzalez, and @Caleb Brown, but something I think would be helpful for you would be to share the profile of a type of property, price point, and the amount of rehab you're willing to do (given your mention of S8 properties) that you are interested in acquiring.

I just listened to episodes 219 and 221 on the “Flipping Junkie” podcast and they talked through the same thoughts you two just shared.

You will likely have to lower the rent because you are taking space away from them AND making them share space. 

Open to shared experiences and wisdom from all.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for flexibility or control, or you prioritize high resale value, it’s worth exploring alternatives like small multifamily properties or single-family homes in areas with broader market appeal.Coming here to see if anyone has suggestions or experience to share is a great first step!
