Awesome to hear that you’re thinking about pulling the trigger on a house hack - it’s easily the best financial decision you will ever make if done correctly.A lot of people on BP will tell you that renting by the room is not a sound investment; that you can’t effectively manage multiple strangers in a household; that you’ll relinquish your privacy/sanity/personal space/landlord status etc etc.As someone who lives with 5 roommates (including my wife + 2 dogs) I can tell you that it’s absolutely not the big bad monster that it’s made out to be.Because you have multiple streams of income in a single property, if a tenant flakes, you still have partial coverage of your mortgage payment - not the case in a traditional rental or “luxury” house-hack.
