House Hacking Technicalities

Hey there!

So I'm very willing to house hack to the extreme(ish). So I normally just sleep in my truck anyways, and all I need is a small office space and a bathroom. Can I house hack, sleep in my truck in the backyard, and utilize a tiny garage area for an office while the main house is rented out? This would still be my primary residence. Any thoughts?

Deals in California are few and far between, and I am willing to do any means necessary to make a house hack work.

    @Jacob Zivanovich why not just sleep in the bed?  If you purchase a 4 bedroom home, you could sleep in one bedroom and rent out the other rooms.  What's wrong with doing it that way?  There's plenty of people that live in the "garage apartment" even.  Lots of ways to do this without having to "live in your truck".
