#32: House Hack or Hell Hack for Families? Apr 20, 2018

Show notes

In today's episode, I share details about my family house hacking plan. Long story short, my wife's mother talked about moving from Reno, NV to Denver, CO once we started a family. Like many grandmothers, she wants to spend as much time as possible with her grandchild. She's even offered to watch the little one while we're at work. As I type this, I can visualize many of the readers cringing at the next sentence: Living near us, morphed into my mother-in-law moving in with us. Living with family can be extremely difficult. But the pros from a financial and family point-of-view, outweighed the cons. We all moved in together just a few weeks ago. I don't have any firm numbers to share yet, but my back of the napkin math estimates saving $2,000 to $4,000 a month. Afterall, a dollar saved, is worth $1.33 or more earned. I recorded the podcast to share my strategy and to hopefully learn from others. If you have questions, ideas or advice, please reach out!

#24: Colorado Springs Investing with Matt and Dominique Pastore Feb 09, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, we talk with Matt and Dominique Pastore about their rental properties in Colorado Springs. They have a very interesting story. In 2010, Matt purchased his first house (sight unseen from Fort Knox, Kentucky) to house hack with his Army friends. They added another rental property and then moved to New York. While living more than a 1,000 miles away they continued to successfully self-manage their properties, but even purchased more rentals! Fun fact: Matt has never stepped foot in any of the properties before purchasing them. How they did it and the resources used are discussed in the podcast interview. Recently, they moved from New York to Denver. Matt and Dominique share their future investment plans which range from an international vacation property to a small apartment complex (9 - 15 units) in Colorado Springs.
