First House Hack in Los Angeles

Rick Leach

Looking to do my first house hack in Los Angeles area.  As most of you know it is ridiculously expensive.  Would it be a bad idea to do a first house hack on a foreclosed home if the right research is done? (mainly due to cost in the areas I would like to purchase)

Not at all. I purchased one in 2011. No issues. You just need to make sure you get a good inspection, so you know what you are dealing with, since they are usually sold "as-is". Often if a buyer can't pay the mortgage, they are not keeping up with the maintenance either.
