I'm a 2x house hacker here in LA and an out of state investor.

My recommendations for house hackers right now are townhomes in particular NOVA locations.  

To list a few...Anyone who wants to increase their property’s income potential (and equity) and build new housing in a market that struggles with high prices, low supply, and few new construction.House hackers who live in their primary and want to airbnb an ADU love this strategy or vice versaInvestors who want to do both long term and short term benefit from having two separate units.Rental Restrictions on ADUs.Thankfully, Raleigh is very STR friendly and ADU friendly right now.

I’ve personally seen a lot of successful house hackers in the Metro Detroit area.

That is a great place to start, as well as hitting some local real estate investor meetups so you can meet some other house hackers in person who have done what you want to do.

I have STR investors in Florida making 25% cash on cash returns, long term rental investors picking up properties directly off the MLS and cash flowing day 1 in various states, and house hackers completely removing their housing payment from the picture allowing them to save for for the next property.The beautiful thing about real estate is there are so many ways to succeed and a plethora of strategies depending on your comfort level and how active you want to be.

@Daymian Mejia I am a 2x house hacker and agent in the north shore.

@Sarita Scherpereel holds real estate investor meetups in the Chicago area, and many house hackers go through there.

I am a fellow house hacker and think it's the best way to get into the game if your circumstances allow it!
