Your main economic benefit you get from living in a house hack is the significantly reduced living costs.

Only read 8 books so far on RE and I don't know where to start researching what the macro-economic scene looks like here.

@Aaron Moore a well maintained, stylish, fair priced property will have little vacancy in areas with diverse economic bases.In a downturn, comparable to 2008-10, people were loosing jobs, going into foreclosure and vacancy rates dropped because more people became rentals.
