There is demand for it and demand in this area for affordable housing, in a tourist area where plenty of people have vacant, second/third homes for seasonal fishing and hunting.

My DP was around $20k and when I sold it I cleared over $200k.Good luck to you and let me know if there's ever anything else you'd like to know about house hacking.

@William Weston You don't have to house hack, but if you could fit your family of 5 in a 3BR unit, would this work: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/8104-Chesw...?

Renovated the inside of the house.

I would find properties, submit them to their portal and they would tell me what they would offer when the house was completely remodeled.  

The old-school “We Buy Ugly Houses” model still works.

Quote from @Mitch Seiffert: I have a single-family house in Minneapolis that I've been approached by a couple of parties interested in using it as a group home.

There are not too many people who can pay 40K cash to buy a house.

I landscaped a 40 foot x 7 foot walkway on the side of my house(where I house hack) in 2024.  

There are houses that can be lived in and fixed up, or turned into multi-unit spaces (such as terraced houses with converted 'stables' at the back) for living in and earning income at the same time.
