House Hacking in Pittsburgh

[Will Moses]

Hey Everyone!

My name is Will and I'm a 23-year-old aspiring house hacker based in Pittsburgh. I'm still getting familiar with the local market and I'm curious as to which property types/neighborhoods have shown the most success in the area for house hackers? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

I agree with @Jeremy Taggart that a 3–4 unit property would be ideal. However, you might also want to consider buying a larger single-family home with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. While living with several roommates has its pros and cons, it could give you the opportunity to afford a bigger home in a nicer area.
