Have you ever considered house hacking as a way to reduce or eliminate your housing expenses? đ¤
House hacking is when you purchase a multi-unit property, live in one unit, and rent out the other(s). This can help you cover your mortgage payment or even generate positive cash flow.
Let's explore a house hacking scenario in Utah:
Purchase price: $600,000 (duplex)
Interest rate: 7% (30-year mortgage)
Monthly mortgage payment: $3,995 (principal and interest only)
Price-to-rent ratio: 20
Assuming each unit is similar in size and amenities, the monthly rent for each unit can be estimated at:
$600,000 / 20 = $30,000 (annual rent per unit)
$30,000 / 12 = $2,500 (monthly rent per unit)
By renting out one unit for $2,500, your out-of-pocket monthly mortgage payment would be:
$3,995 - $2,500 = $1,495
Plus, with the current annual rent increase of 10%, your rental income would grow year after year.
Not only are you saving on housing costs, but you're also benefiting from the 5% annual home appreciation rate in Utah. Talk about a win-win! đĄđ°

Thatâs right. Multi-unit properties often leave monthly residual income from the very first month and pay themselves nicely. Call me and let me share a few examples with you.
