Overview

Long-Term Strategy

House Hacking is often considered a stepping stone towards building a real estate portfolio. The reduced housing expenses allow you to save money and potentially acquire additional investment properties in the future.

Financial Benefits

House Hacking offers several financial benefits. By living in one unit and renting out the others, you can significantly reduce or eliminate housing costs, including mortgage payments. The rental income from the other units helps offset  expenses and can even generate positive cash flow. 

Benefits & Strategy

The 3 Steps to House Hacking

1

Purchase Property

You buy a property with multiple units or extra space that can be rented out. This can be a duplex, triplex, or single-family home with a separate unit, such as a basement or garage apartment.

2

Live in One Unit

You live in one of the units, usually the main unit or a smaller portion of the property. This allows you to take advantage of owner-occupied financing options (5% down) and potentially live in a more desirable location. 

3

Rent Out the Remaining Units

You rent out the other units or spaces in the property to tenants. The rental income generated from these units is used to offset or cover a significant portion, if not all, of the mortgage, property taxes, insurance, and other expenses associated with the property.
