🏠💰 Investing Strategy Spotlight: House Hacking! 🏡💼 🔑 What is House Hacking, you ask? It's a game-changer that allows you to become a homeowner and investor simultaneously. Here's how it works: 1️⃣ Purchase a multi-unit property (duplex, triplex, or quadplex). 2️⃣ Live in one unit while renting out the others. 3️⃣ Your tenants cover your mortgage and even generate extra income! 4️⃣ Enjoy the benefits of homeownership while building equity and cash flow. 💡 Why House Hacking? It's a smart way to leverage real estate to achieve financial freedom: 🏡 Affordable living: Your tenants' rent helps offset your housing expenses, making homeownership more attainable. 💰 Passive income: Rental income from your tenants can cover or exceed your mortgage, putting money back in your pocket. 📈 Wealth-building: As property values appreciate and mortgages get paid down, you're building equity and growing your net worth. 🔑 Flexibility: Live in one unit, rent out the others, and potentially move on to the next property while retaining your existing investment. 🌟 Ready to unlock the power of House Hacking? Let's chat about how this strategy can help you achieve your financial goals! 💼🔑 #HouseHacking #RealEstateInvesting #FinancialFreedom 🏠💸

REPOSTING this from yesterday as a cybersecurity professional mentioned hackers can figure out the numbers in a check even if they’re whited out! 😱 WOW, you learn something every day & I def take security seriously. 🔐 Let’s try this again (thanks to everyone for ALL the great feedback)… “😳 Don’t get me wrong, I love our long-term real estate investments... But for many people, they haven't been distributing as the sponsor projected & that cash flow isn't arriving in their bank accounts every month. 💰My husband & I needed some of our money to work a little faster for us, so we decided to start lending money last year to house flippers in town.🏡 Years ago we had lended money to a small business & made a solid 12% annually for years, so this wasn’t completely new to us. 🤩 ✅ We do a LOT of due diligence on the front end before deploying capital & we’re expanding outside our area. ✈️ It’s been pretty passive which I LOVE & some of the returns are honestly better than our long-term deals (though we still do those too & I am a huge fan of all those benefits)! 👏 DIVERSIFICATION is key for us. Returns are ranging from 9-15% for 2-6 month holds. 🎉 Obviously there aren’t the tax write-offs that I can use with hard assets/depreciation, but it is providing quicker returns which we like! 🙌 This picture is from a deal we just finished with a local company & they were fantastic to work with! 😄 🏦 Why not be the bank?
