Are Condos Bad for House-Hacking

[Spencer Carpenter]

Hi,

This is my first post, but I've been listening to BP for several months and my partners and I just closed on our first 5-unit!

However, this is not for our portfolio, but for myself. I want to move to a market that is currently booming, therefore, not great for me to start investing in. Some of the only spots that are even reasonably priced are condos. I know most investors stay away from condos, but if I can find one that has the potential for forced appreciation, renting a room or two, and Airbnb, then could a condo be good for house-hacking?

Id say this is market specific.  Condos can be great in DC....and are not so great in Baltimore just a half hour away.
