Who has heard the term “house-hacking” being thrown around recently? 🙋🏻‍♀️

House hacking = finding ways to generate income from your home. Traditionally, house hacking means buying a multifamily property, living in one unit and renting out the others so that the tenants pay your mortgage. Meanwhile, you as the owner builds equity while maintaining the property. Pretty cool set-up 🏡💰

SWIPE ➡️➡️ through these properties that would make for great house-hacking opportunities!!

Not only does purchasing multi-family real estate allow for income generating potential, but if you live in the property as well, you can qualify for better loan terms (because you would be owner-occupying) 👏🏻

Are you interested in learning more about this process? 📞

Hi Homeowners!
New month = New to do list to keep your home functioning in tip-top shape 🏡🧹

Here’s a few things to work on this month:

⚫️ Inspect your exterior siding, windows and doors for any gaps or cracks. Seal them to improve energy efficiency and keep pests out.
⚫️ Trim bushes and trees, clean up garden beds, or tidy up landscaping. Bonus points for boosting your curb appeal!
⚫️ If you have an outdoor space, clean it up and check for any needed repairs (this will help you be ready for warm weather gatherings)
⚫️ Deep clean carpets, rugs, curtains, couches, etc.
⚫️ Prep for the inevitable spring allergens by changing your HVAC filters.

Keeping up on those pesky maintenance items not only makes your home more enjoyable to live in, but protects your investment!

I know it’s still raining (& snowing??) in Oregon, but spring weather is right around the corner 💚☀️💐🌿 Is your home ready?

ATTENTION FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS 📣🏡
I’ve hand-selected a list of homes that are currently listed UNDER $400k that would be great starter homes!

Remember, your first home isn’t (usually) your forever home. Here are some advantages to buying a starter home:
1️⃣ They’re less expensive
2️⃣ They allow owners to build equity instead of paying rent
3️⃣ They can make an excellent investment property, generating supplemental income when it’s time to upgrade

You gotta start somewhere! Are you interested in any of these properties? GIVE ME A CALL TODAY 📞📲☎️
