Tips of Managing a Tenant When House Hacking
Hi all
I will be house hacking my first property this summer. I am looking for tips on how to manage tenants when you all live under the same roof. The property wil be more than like a duplex/multifamily in metro Atlanta Georgia. I will be renting out one floor. Does any one have any do's and don'ts? I kind of dont want my tenant to know that I live on the property. Is that even possible?
Thank you all in advance

@Justine Veal I am not personally a big fan of trying to hide that you are the owner. I know a few people who have done it, but realistically you are going to be so involved in managing the property that there isn't really a way for you to keep this a secret. Even on my larger 6 unit or more deals a lot of my tenants figure it out. I think if you choose tenants well and treat them with respect then you will be fine. A lot of house hackers actually end up really liking their neighbors.
