I'm surprised at how egress entrances seem to be often ignored by house hackers. 

Also some may have a private entrance to give more flexibility indoors. 

A private entrance will add 10-20% to your rent. 

In NYC area is it possible make sure you buy near the subway trains and make sure the tenants have enough money or income to pay the rent sometimes the tenant can bother you and stay rent free for 6 months to 1 year in your property until you get them evicted ,so you need to be careful while house hacking in NYC area the other advantage is you can split the basement into 2 parts with 2 entrances then you can collect more rent making it easier to pay  the mortgage 

I was running a fairly active REI networking group in the Burlington area prior to the pandemics grand entrance.

Entrances. ????

I did 2 separate 12-month leases for 2 of the bedrooms and then did the basement room as an Airbnb with its own private entrance. 

Quote from @Brenna Ellison: Hi All,I am setting up my basement (with a private entrance) as an Airbnb.

Sounds like I've gathered all the celebs I'll need to make an entrance!

Did you know that the Flash/Bangs that PD uses to make a surprise entrance for a bust are great for popping all the nails on sheetrocked walls?
