Generally value is determined by the buyer pool, mots buyers of SFRs will value it not worried about income potential, while multi-unit buildings are de facto investment properties so income potential will drive the value for them

Hi @Emily De Leon,It's not the classic definition to house hacking (that usually involves multifamily), but you still have a "tenant" paying for a portion of your primary residence mortgage while allowing you to keep the property and at zero cost to you so, sure - why not. :) As for tax benefits, it gets a little tricky as to how you are claiming the condo on your returns.

On a good note, if you start the group then you become the de facto networkign hub.
