If you’re looking to break into real estate investing but need to figure out what it takes, consider house hacking. You might wonder, though: Is house hacking legal?

Is House Hacking Legal?

House hacking is legal when you do it right. For example, renting a spare room in a single-family home or a unit in a multifamily home is legal. 

However, renting a garage space not meant for living isn’t considered legal. Follow your city’s zoning laws, and house hacking can be legal.
