House Hacking
Many people talk about house hacking, but seem to have different definitions. For us, it means taking a single family home and creating separate, private living spaces. This provides the space to live more affordably for 2 different parties without having to see each other -unless you choose to. Shared common spaces are a great way to create community.
We are on your team
Analyze the local market
What you can charge varies greatly by market. We will analyze your area to see what is realistic. Do you want to rent out a room or a private space with its own entrance?
long term returns
Do you need to make changes to your home?
We can recommend what small changes would make your home more rentable. Consider dividing walls and exterior entrances. We can also help develop the scope of work and help with contractor selection.

experience counts
Don't reinvent the wheel. Learn from our experience. We have over 20 years of experience as landlords. We have real estate experience, construction management experience and we have done our own house hacking. We also have regular rentals and by-the-room rentals. We can help you build your portfolio - or just develop a plan. No project is too small.
Here is how it works - the basic package
01
Share your home and social info including:
Photos, layout, location, dimensions, yards, driveways, pets on site, costs, and your goals - social and monetary. Do you like young people or prefer people your own age? What is your personality and tolerance for people? Do you have hobbies?
02
We review your home information and study your market. How do your goals align with your area? What is realistic? Are you in a college town, are there large employers near by? Traveling nurses?
03
Receive your game plan with
clear advice tailored to your goals. What rent is realistic? What is a good target market for locating renters? Upgrade your package for help with finding renters and screening them.

life-changing decision
Retirement is not cheap. If you do not have enough resources and are stressed out about how you will continue to live on your budget, you should consider sharing your home. Your decision could also make a life-changing difference for another retiree who is looking for an affordable, safe place to live.
house hunting
unbiased help
Considering buying a home that is a little out of your budget? Although you might qualify just fine, you may have your own idea of what fits your budget. Renting out a room or a piece of your home while waiting for your income to match your dreams is a great way to relieve the stress. We have done it ourselves and can help you review the possibilities. Our advice is unbiased. We don't make more or less money if you decide to buy a certain house. It's a great consideration with any advice you get - does the person giving advice benefit from your decision in any way? If they do, that advice should be reviewed with that in mind.
