Housing hacking during college

[Chris Trupiano]

Hello I'm a new member to BP and the real estate investing community. I'm soon to close on a single family house thanks to my mentor. For my next step I've been thinking about house hacking a 4-plex during college, which I'll be entering this fall. My thoughts are that I'd need it to fully cover the mortgage + any repairs with it being a college town so anything less than 4 wouldn't have enough income to cover that. Does anyone have experience of doing this either during or in a college town? I'd love to talk to you.
