Can you house hack a townhome?

[Rodney Reeves]

Hi all,

I am in the process of saving funds to purchase my first property and plan to house hack. Sorry if this is a dumb question but can you house hack a townhome (assuming not part of an HOA)? My first option would be to buy a duplex and there are options around the area I am in (metro Atlanta area) but just was wondering this since I've seen some decent priced townhomes as well. Thanks for any help!

Make sure the HOA fee won't kill your cash flow. Townhome HOA might have regulations on the outside look. Not so much regarding inside . Check HOA regulation before you buy. Good luck
