If you're doing FHA, I'm sure you know you have to live in one of the units.

Is your midterm you live in performing well? 

I live in SoCal so if I wanted strong cash flow I would likely have to look out of state.

@Khaled Seirafi I've invested in several things in real estate: residential, commercial, small multifamily, mobile home parks, short term rentals, co-living (rent by the room) and I just bought an assisted-living facility.

and it ended in a circular conversation to nowhere.

I'm from Newburyport and lived in Seaport for a while.

If a home was previusly owned and lived in by a famous person, does it add much value? 

I've been living in my current house hack for ~1.5, and I placed my tenants in September 2023 (lease is up at the end of August).

If they move in with a made ready home they are more likely to take care of it while they live there. 

I'm assuming that this situation wouldn't pass inspection, but one could argue that all the spaces the guests have access to (i.e. bedroom, bathroom) are safe and habitable + the guests wouldn't be exposed to the kitchen.Also, do the city inspectors inspect other parts of the home the guests won't access (i.e. inspectors check the basement for water infiltration even though no guests would ever be living or even going down there).
