Has anyone house hacked right out of college?

Hey everyone, I recently graduated and started my job as an analyst at one of the large brokerage shops. I've been calculating my expected expenses and realized I'm able to save a decent amount of money. Has anyone house hacked before within their first year of working (bought a house and lived with other people that pay rent to you so you can live rent free)?

I live in LCOL city where 3/4bdr houses/row homes sell for $200-450k in desirable neighborhoods. Also am going to try to get a conventional loan where I can put 3-5% down as my city has a first time homebuyer program.

Curious if anyone has done this and what their experiences doing it?

 

No, but I'm graduating in a year and have thought about it. Only problem is that I don't think I can pull it off in NYC lol. If I was going to do it, I'd probably hack a duplex so that way I could live alone in of the units and have the other one pay for the whole thing. Obviously, learning to be a landlord and finding time to manage the property, deal with tenants might be challenging. Fred Fredburger could help, I don't know if he househacks but he is an investor and could give you a better idea of what it all might entail.
