@John Su I live in northern New England where there is lots of snow and on any multi family property the landlord typically takes care of snow removal.

Hey Everyone,I just graduated college with no debt so I want to buy my first property and House Hack with college students, I found a property currently selling for $175,000 dollars, but I think It can be negotiated to a lower purchase price since it is a little outdated and the other houses in that same street have sold for less money, although it is outdated it could be rented for $550 dollars a month + utilities  and since it is a 4 bed, 2 baths; renting out the other 3 bedrooms while I live in one of them would help me break even with the house's monthly expenses.

As it enables you to live in one unit of a property while renting out others to pay your housing bills, house hacking is an excellent strategy—especially for first-time homebuyers.

Due Diligence PeriodIn addition to the lease-up contingency, you can negotiate an extended due diligence period.

Where are you living now?

If Im living in it and renting it out, is this still considered an investment property?

Reduced Living Costs:House hacking allowed me to live in a larger or more desirable property than I could afford at the time solely on my income.

He would take out the loan on a multi-family and I would provide the funds for closing and reno as he lives there for 2 years. 

I'm living in Dubai united Arab Emirates.
