House Hacking in Phoenix, AZ

[Daniel Pitner]

My wife and I are looking to purchase a new home, rent out our current house, and hopefully house hack with the new purchase. The issue that we are running into is that there are very few duplexes in the Phoenix/Phoenix metro market. I still think that we have the ability to make money off of a primary residence. Do you guys have any ideas or suggestions on how to accomplish this?

Short term rental a guest room or buy a house with a separate guest quarters and rent that piece out.  The traditional small multi families in Phoenix are in garbage neighborhoods generally.  If you are house hacking live where you want to live and try to make that work.  I wouldn't go live in a rough neighborhood just so I can have a rough neighbor.
