Anyone Currently or Recently House Hacking in NYC?

[Maurice W. Evans]

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring the idea of buying a 2–3 unit multifamily in Queens and doing a house hack. 

I’m fairly new to living in NYC and wanted to hear from folks who are currently house hacking here or have done it recently.

I’ve managed about 20 rental and Airbnb units in Brooklyn, in the past, so I’m familiar with tenant laws and the operational side of things. 

That said, this would be my first time buying a multifamily in NYC, and I’m especially interested in the finance/investment angle.

Would love to hear your experiences—what’s working, what to watch out for, and how you approached financing or partnerships. 

Open to connecting with others who might be looking at similar deals.

Thanks in advance for sharing your insight!
