House Hacking Advice

[Lindy McConnell]

Hello fellow BP'ers! I'm seeking some advice for living in the same building as my tenants. Next year in the spring, I plan to purchase a multifamily home, and I'm trying to think of ways to convince my possible tenants that I am not the landlord, just another tenant. I'd prefer this, that way when tenants have problems, they don't come knocking on my door, since I'm so close. Any tips or advice is appreciated!

If you hide behind the truth don't expect anything less from the tenants.  Screen properly and there will be no need to hide.
