With a family and kids the best house hack is a house and cottage or duplex option.

Recent discussions in Bloomberg and the Yale Law Journal shed light on the challenges posed by traditional zoning regulations and offer insights into potential reforms that could benefit co-living arrangements.Zoning Laws and the Definition of FamilyTraditional zoning laws often define "family" in narrow terms, typically limiting residential occupancy to individuals related by blood, marriage, or adoption.

This district is zoned to support mixed use and multi family residential structures of up to 7 stories, so we will likely maximize our development based on that zoning. 

I am located in Western AustraliaI have been exploring small multi-family properties and flipping houses.

Quote from @Chris Babb: Hey, BP Family!

I've helped investors to sell fix and flips, multi-family homes, land, you name it!

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

And later relisted as a "family compound" with most of the photos showing commercial aspects of the property removed. 

Hi Joseph, if you have 4 single-family's, I recommend you ask to see each one of their lease agreements and screening processes.
