House hacking in a 4-bedroom here could absolutely work if you run your numbers carefully and stick to those “higher-end lower-end” neighborhoods.

We are still looking to sell, but we want to make sure the tenant is taken care of first.

@Rich Vogel, would you care to elucidate?

These areas tend to attract more reliable, long-term tenants who are usually more financially stable and take better care of the property.

For a large landlord, they can charge top dollar rent and evict quickly without caring about what's going on with tenants. 

If something happened to me, I wanted my wife and kids cared for.

I know no one's going to care there about the plight of a landlord, but in all honesty - who cares if he dies of exposure?

Review them carefully. 

Also, check the delivery options carefully since these machines can be bulky.

From that experience, I got the idea of just building a multifamily (ideally a quadruplex) from the ground up as my next home to house hack in.I've done some preliminary research and had some questions if any experts care to chime in:+ There aren't many multifamily zoned lots in metro Atlanta.
