Creative house-hacking strategies to live for free, with $0 down?

Ashley K.

Posted

I'm interested in "creative" house-hacking strategies.... My goal is to live in a nicer place than I do now and make my cost of living $0 or much lower than what I'm currently paying in rent.

Example Scenario

Rent 4 BR house @ $2,000 mo

Get 3 roommates, Rent 3 rooms out at $650/month+1/4 utilities. I live for free in the 4th bedroom and just pay my share of utilities.

No closing costs, no repairs, no mortgage... and I live in a nicer home.

Has anyone ever done this?
