Welcome to Texas.Coppell is an excellent place to live (I live there. 

I acquired a 60 k heloc loan and I'm interested in scaling my business even though I don't live in WI anymore.

You could hopefully create cash flow with the house and cut your living expenses down considerably with the rent from the other side of the duplex.

Provided the house hack reduces your overall living expenses while living there AND cash flows upon moving out, I’d say move forward.Looking forward to seeing your success!

I live just north of Boston.

@Jack Hamm  not living there it really depends on the location and your tolerance for the management of this type of arrangement.

Recognize senior living (if assstrd living) is an operating business that involves real estate.

The goal of house-hacking is to eventually rent out the unit you live in, when you scale your portfolio by buying the next rental.

Given that you're near NYC, I'd imagine, there'd be a lot of newer professionals looking for a place to live so there should be no shortage.Id connect with other local investors that do rent by the room to see what they do for furnishings. 

I focus more on long-term strategies such as rent by room, sober living, normal market tenants and Section 8.
