@Cory J AndersonI should have mentioned that I was mainly referring to the hard money side (since I have more experience with that). 

Hi @Tyler CrawfodLet's make some things clear.The main strategy behind "house hacking" is to be able to get into a unit and rent out another. 

Good morning,I am looking for some input from landlords in the central Maine area. 

As long as the learning isn't interfering with your main source of income I'd go for it.

If not, they may have just thrown anyone into the units to fill it for the sole purpose of selling. 

Hey there- we help clients get into investment properties in Denver and Colorado Springs, and would say the main thing is to be very clear on what your most important metric is (cash on cash, cash flow, cap rate, etc.) because we often see people look at multiple metrics, which can make it very hard to make a decision.

Moving from a TH to a 3-unit in the same area doesn't make sense, unless there were so supporting reasons. 3-unit is in a better school district OR each unit is actually bigger then the TH.They purposefully don't put out guidelines, because folks will try to beat them.

Couldn't afford to buy another property here in SF bay area rental purpose.
