What’s better than being a homeowner?
Being a homeowner and getting paid to do it.
One of the best ways I’ve helped many first-time buyers do this is through house hacking.
Here’s how it works 👇
Instead of buying a single-family home, you can buy a duplex, triplex, or fourplex and live in one unit while the other units help pay your mortgage.
And in high-cost areas like Los Angeles County, the 2026 conventional loan limits allow you to go even higher:
🏠 Duplex – up to $1,599,375
🏠 Triplex – up to $1,933,200
🏠 Fourplex – up to $2,402,625
Even better… you may only need 5% down, and the rental income from the other units can help you qualify for the loan.
That means you’re not just buying a home…
you’re buying an income-producing property from day one.
