Real life does not follow rules of thumb, they are there to give guidance.

Hi all, I've been housing hacking a duplex since 2021 and due to some life changes will be relocating out of state.

If, however, there are any gaps at all in any of the above items, even a gap so small a mouse can squeeze through, that tenant will exploit it and your life just became a 7th Level of Dante's Inferno.....:)

Life goes on. 

So, like everything in life, the work you put in is what makes you successful here.

I know many of us didn't get into this game until later in life so my hat's off to you.
