Househack via renting rooms

[Dean Fiacco]

I've been considering doing a house hack in South Florida but rather than looking for a duplex simply renting out bedrooms that I wouldn't need to help cover costs. Planning on doing a traditional FHA owner occupant type loan for the property. I've heard a lot about people on the podcast doing this in high cost markets in the Bay Area or Seattle.

Anyone have any pointers or thoughts based on their experiences? Want to vet people appropriately but seems like a viable way to cut costs without going through the pain of looking for an actual multi-unit which is a bit harder to find in the markets I'm looking at.
