It's going to be pretty dependent on the house to think about what you can expect.

House hacking is a great beginning step in investing.

Quote from @Matthew Posteraro: Me and my wife are aiming to start our real estate investing journey with our first house around June/July in the Lehigh Valley area.

@Darrius LloydTo start your house hacking journey, research neighborhoods with potential for multifamily properties and balance affordability with tenant quality.

If you are single or a couple on the same page about house hacking, look for uneven multis.

If the other two parties want to flip a house maybe they can do just that as partners and then sell you the house which you can buy with a primary home loan with low down payment.

Consider financing options like hard money loans, or FHA loans for house hacking, and focus on areas with strong rental demand near the MA/NH border.

Again none of that is to discourage from house hacking just to say you should house hack because you want to own a home not necessarily because it’s a great investment because I’m not sure how much better it is than investing elsewhere with the market where it’s at today. 

There are a few Dundalk neighborhoods I'd stay away from but for the most part it's a great area for house hacking/BRRRR.

Income would be the same if I compare to the 4 bedroom house at $1000 per room.
