Question
What financing advantage does house hacking exploit compared to pure investment property purchasing?
1
Owner-occupied mortgages are available with substantially smaller deposits (sometimes 3.5–10%) compared to investment property financing (typically 20-25%), allowing house hackers to leverage more with less initial capital
2
House hackers can deduct 100% of their mortgage interest from income tax, unlike investment property owners
3
House hackers receive government grants unavailable to investment property buyers
4
House hackers receive a lower interest rate because their rental income is guaranteed by the government
