House hacking questions and advice
Since I began following BP, I’ve become very interested in house hacking and is my primary goal to get into real estate investment.
This may be a common sense question but when house hacking, is it recommended to act as the landlord myself or to go through a property manager?
Follow on questions, is it possible (or smart at all) to house hack 2 properties in 2 different locations (city, state, etc) and live in both. In other words, like if I travel due to work or life, I have a place to live in both.
I’m open to suggestions (and criticism). I’m learning the ropes so any advice is welcome.

Manage on your own. Read The Book on Managing Rental Properties by Heather Turner. When you can successfully self-manage than you can "manage" your future property managers as you scale and need to remove yourself from that role.
