My family just moved out of our house-hack property in Chamblee, GA. We were living upstairs which is a 3 bed/2bath and renting out our basement which is a 2/2 for $2000/ month. Total square footage is ~2500. Tenant has been super easy to work with and willing to stay. 

It has been a great setup for us but we recently moved to Tennessee. I was planning on renting out the upstairs in the $3200-3500 dollar range but am reconsidering selling the house now to finance a new property in TN. The property is in the Sexton Woods neighborhood on a quiet street. I'm looking to get $680K net of any buyer's agent commission. Please reach out to me if you'd like to get the address or additional details.

Hi @Elaine Raymond,

We ran into this same issue a couple of years ago and decided to do the basement house hack as a substitute for a traditional duplex. Our rent almost totally covers our mortgage. My wife had safety concerns at first as well but we've both been more than pleased with how it's gone. I'd be happy to connect you with her to get the safety perspective or show you our setup. You can take a look at pictures of our basement unit on my profile and shoot me a call or text if you want to come see it.
