Oh yeah! Reading it for the second time right now, actually. That's awesome, yeah definitely have to weigh the pros and cons. 

Love hearing examples of people doing something similar.

@Andrew Postell

You're making some good points haha. The garage apartment is probably going to be the answer, I just love thinking of the ways I can maximize what I'm trying to achieve. 

There's also just an enjoyment in trying to live in a harsh condition that others wouldn't even think about in order to attain their goals.

@Julien Jeannot

Thanks! Yeah my plan is to utilize only Medium or Short term tenants to maximize profits, a lot of the numbers don't work out if I use Long Term tenants. Definitely still a work in progress.

Yeah I'd probably just have the garage be a type of live-in rehab. That would make the most sense, then slowly build it out. Still trying to make sense of it haha.

For cooking and eating, I have no problem using a camping stove or crockpots. I also have a portable fridge for food storage.

For the bathroom, I have a couple ideas. Either utilize a friends house that live in the same town, porta-potties haha, or build out the bathroom first in the garage ADU.

I lived on the road for about 8 months and can live really minimally, it's also just kind of funny to me.

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.

Hey there! First post.

Looking to invest in Chico, California, a smaller city in Northern California. The population is around 100,000. Although I realize inventory is low everywhere in the US, is this too small of a population to invest in? There doesn't seem to be a lot of small multi-family on market, and wondering if it's worth diving into. All macro indicators suggest that this is a greenlight to invest, and local housing conditions seem to be okay except for inventory. 

Thanks.
