We recently helped a Brooklyn house-hacker acquire a beat-up 2-family where he spent ~$150-200K in renovations.

So I guess it's not "reverse" but normally I see house hackers renting out rooms within their main house, this is different.  

Talk to a few agents and lenders in your area that work with real estate investors and even house hackers more specifically.

Myself and my team work with tons of investors and first time buyer/hackers to get them on the right path and ensure you're properly educated on all the FACTS to make certain you will be a successful homeowner!

I work with a lot of new investors and house hackers and as you might expect, they usually need guidance on analyzing deals.

I have been working with house hackers for 10+ years on the north side. 

Additionally, my area has an abundance of 4-family properties in those in-between areas where a would-be house hacker can benefit from the four rental income streams (instead of just two if they bought a duplex) in order to help stay within the DTI requirements.
