House Hack- What is considered a House Hack
When you house hack, how serious do you have to be about living in the location? Could you live at the house and somewhere else? Does it have to be 6 months and a day? Do I just have to leave a room open?

I would add to Nicholas L's comment that if you intend to house hack, the benefits you receive from that practice come from the fact that you have a place to live, while tenants pay your 'rent'. If you are not living in that place very much of the year, you now have a vacant unit that is wasting money and it's not really a house hack anymore.
