House Hacking a SFH In Columbus,Ohio
Hello, my wife and I (No kids) are planning to do some house hacking on our single family home in Columbus Ohio. We have a home with 3Bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms(we only occupy one bedroom). We've been researching on how to get into real estate investing and think that this a great way to save capital for future investments and get experience as a landlord.
What I wanted to do is get some insight to anyone in BP that is currently doing this around my area or in general. Also, somethings to keep in mind while house hacking?
Thanks for the Info.

@Ruben Castillo I did this with the first property I bought. It was a duplex. We rented out the other side of our duplex and the extra bedroom we had on our side.
Make sure you screen your tenant well. Make the rent below market value so you can choose from a lot of applicants. You can screen them through Cozy.com. They pay about $40 for a background and credit check.
I am a Realtor, property manager, and investor in Columbus, OH. Please let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help you with anything.
