Let’s be honest, I’ve watched folks who jump into this game as if playing roulette.. firing off offers on duplexes in Phoenix or leaning on some “sure-thing” house hack in Austin without ever sketching out their plan.

I am hoping for a house-hack with a multi-family home which my partner and I will renovate.

She knows the house hack market well.

Can’t get in this market with $50-100k. 2- if you don’t already own a home, I’d look at 2-4 units and house hack.

Quote from @Dan Keefe: Hello everyone,I’m a traveling physical therapist but grew up in Maine and am looking to purchase multi families in Biddeford using an FHA and subsequently to house hack in.My question to the Southern Maine community is in regards to the rent data in Biddeford and Saco.

I’m super interested in purchasing my first house hack before July of 2025.

You can also double hack these if you have enough units and live in one unit and use one unit for your business, but of course that decreases your cash flow but increases your usability.You can also use an FHA loan to get a mixed-use property with only 3.5% down if the residential square footage if more than 50% of the total square footage.

Hi community,I just closed on my first investment property and it is a house hacking project.

Starting small through house hacking, long-term rentals, or flipping helped me gain experience without taking on too much risk.

It's an incredibly powerful hack if you do meet the criteria.In other words, marry a real estate agent who's an RE Pro!
