Quote from @AJ Satcher: I am currently house hacking with an upper/lower setup - I occupy the upper.

As I'm sure everyone knows, the housing market is pretty locked up right now.

This is more of a reach goal for me since I am still in my "collect 4 green houses before trading up to a red hotel" stage, but I thought I would ask the hive mind anyways.

House was built in 2005 (I lived in this house and rented it out when I moved back to California). 

I bought a single family because I thought I could house hack in the same way as a duplex and in ways it certainly could have and did work but I didn't expect the relational aspects of having people living in a property I purchased.

When I was 22, I did a house hack, and I highly recommend it.

You've probably heard of big Landlords losing property, but only because they were flagrantly violating Fair Housing, running a slum, or otherwise violating the law in an egregious manner.

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year.

Divorce - its easier if the house is in the divorce decree otherwise you need to play mediator between parties to come to an agreement.
