What we’re about
House Hack Seattle hosts monthly meetups where you can learn about House Hacking & Real Estate Investing and network with other investors. All experience levels are welcome in our group - whether you're a new investor thinking about how to buy and House Hack your very first property, or a seasoned investor with dozens of House Hacks and Rentals under your belt, this group is for you.
These events are hosted by HouseHack Seattle, a group of Real Estate Agents who personally HouseHack & Invest in real estate, and love helping others do the same. The event is sponsored by Kara Rozanski at Origin Point Mortgage, a top local lender & investor who excels at guiding clients through the sometimes complicated mortgage process. Many of our events will focus on House Hacking, as it is the most accessible and powerful way to get started in real estate investing, but there's many other strategies that we cover, including:
1. HouseHacking: Buy a home with extra bedrooms or extra units, live in one, and rent the rest. Your tenants cover your mortgage & expenses, and you live for free! Combine this with a low downpayment ($20k or less in some cases) and you have the core formula that helped my wife & I achieve a $2 Million net worth by the time we turned 30.
2. ShortTerm (Airbnb) Rentals: With local travel surging and the favorable loan products available to Airbnb Investors (10% down, low interest rates), investing in Short Term Rentals can yield significantly higher cashflow than other investments. Owning money-making vacation homes all around the world doesn’t sound bad, does it?
3. Long Term (Traditional) Rentals: Consistant cashflow and inexpensive property management options make this the ultimate source of passive income. Although Long Term Rental cashflow has fallen in recent years, our team specializes in ADU’s, DADU’s, Rehabs, Conversions, & Tiny Houses to create above-average returns.
4. BRRRR: Buy, Renovate, Rent, Refinance, & Repeat! This strategy allows you to re-use the same cash over and over again to acquire multiple properties when other investors might only be able to acquire one.
5. Off-Market: In today’s hot market we pull every lever we can to get you the best real estate deals, including sending mail & calling potential sellers to source off-market deals.
We look forward to seeing you at the event, and please bring your questions! We practice what we preach here- every Origin Point and HouseHack Seattle member has completed at least one HouseHack, Rental, or Airbnb Investment (most have completed many more!). HouseHacking and Investing has changed our family’s life by giving us the freedom and financial flexibility to focus on what matters most, and we'd love to help you do the same!
