Hey John,

I am in Charlotte and currently living in a house hack with another long term rental in Noda. I am also a licensed agent in NC/SC, shoot me a message and hopefully I can answer some questions for you.


Welcome to the community, there are tons of good real estate investor meetups in the area that would be beneficial to attend and network as well.

Hi @Jack Seilus I'm excited for you! Househacking is a great strategy. There's several ways to go about it, some of which work in CLT and some really don't. Multifamily properties are tough here, and not worth it for the price IMO for the decent locations. If you're open to getting something with a separate living space, a converted garage ADU or even easier, have roommates, then you're golden.

Let me know if you have specific questions, I'm happy to help. I'm also a Realtor in NC/SC so can speak to the current market as well. 

Happy investing!

Hi John, 

I am a little late to the party here but I just saw this post and I have been house hacking for the last year and going on my second year. I live in fayetteville and commute to Charlotte, NC and other parts of the Carolinas often.

If you want to set up a call that would work for me. Just DM me if you want to set something up.

Hey @Jack Seilus House Hacking is amazing.

2. For resources I really like the following House Hacking episodes on Bigger Pockets Podcast: #352, #252, #350, and #249. Also, Craig Curelop's book on House Hacking is a great resource.

3. Happy to talk if you want any more advice.

4. Great beginners guide: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Ultimate_Beginners_Guide_BiggerPockets.pdf

5. Set for Life by Scott Trench is also a fantastic book
