I'm an agent and 2x house hacker investor here in Los Angeles.

I'm a 2x house hacker (once in my condo and now living in my ADU that we built while renting out the main house) and I've worked with a developer for over 10 years. 

@Bruce Runn As a current house hacker, I totally agree on the cash flow front.

We specialize in helping house hackers, traditional investors, and even people interested in BRRRR. 

In my experience working with house hackers, the majority of the questions center around financing the deal.

It's more work, but the house hackers who rent by the room are cash flowing.Long term, multifamily will likely be easier to rent and less of a headache if you don't want to do the on-site management, find individual tenants for each room, etc.Which is best?

With that in mind, a $300,000 house in Homestead likely will not generate any profit for a house hacker.

You want to make sure your agent:Has worked with house hackers before; the rules change depending on what loan type you use and how many units you purchase.
