@Erin Colbert You would need to be living somewhere, and you would need to sign the deed restriction.You can live on the couch and rent out all the rooms in all the ADUs and JADUs you wanted - as long as you sign the Deed Restriction for owner occupancy, as well as that would go along with the sale, so you could not sell to investor just renting out the house

Are you thinking about househacking first? 

Quote from @Tar-U-Way Bright: Hello Everyone,I'm preparing to purchase my first investment property in the new year, which I plan to house hack.

Since you’re looking for a house hack, just plan on managing it yourself for now.

House-hacking in a multi-family unit is one strategy I wish I had been aware of when I chose to purchase my first property.

I've always been interested in finance but housing had always been a rather boring investment.

If you live there and are currently renting, then there still is a pathway to house hack say a duplex and better your situation.  

If you can house hack where you are at, that alone will be enough learning to give you a good taste of what you might be looking for.

If your house is old, value is low. 

Since you are already familiar with house hacking, I would consider converting your current home into a rent-by-room or whatever it takes to keep it as a long-term rental, then look for another home you can hack.
