I have been chatting with my girlfriend about moving in together anyway (she owns a house down in Long Beach) so my roommate, my girlfriend and myself have decided to start looking into whether or not a form of house hacking a multi unit building will be viable for us.

This would be the ideal situation for roommates to each pay their share assuming their bank supports it, my biggest issue with it is daily limits so sometimes the payments get broken up.  

I have enough to put about 50-60% down on a larger house, but i feel like it goes against everything i have learned about in real estate investing.. but my alternate thought is the money i have is just sitting making very little interest, so why not put it to work and reduce the amount i would have to pay every month, possibly making a single roommate cover the entire cost for me to live there or net a little in cash flow and try to pay it off in an accelerated manner. 

With a built in roommate looking to have property to rent after living in it for a few years.

Looking for residential property manager in Issaquah, Washington state to help know if it's a good rental and in future help with brining roommates. 

Continue to have roommates while you can.

Account ClosedI have had roommates since I purchased the townhome.

I received an application from a couple (boyfriend and girlfriend) who have been living together for the last year with some room mates and are now looking to get their own space.

The owner would occupy the unit and could get a roommate that would pay $350-450/m (all utilities included).

You could get a handle on what it is like to have a roommate  with a STR/MTR because that is kind of what you are getting.
