episode 266: Rookie Reply: Unpermitted Renovations, House Hack Profits, and Frozen Pipes
If you live in a high-cost-of-living area, a house hack could solve many of your money-related problems. Sharing your living space isn’t always easy, but with a few simple tricks, you can make it more than worth your while. From subsidizing your cost of living to generating cash flow while you’re still staying at the property, house hacking has some almost unbelievable benefits that ANY investor can capitalize on. And Ashley and Tony have some great tips to share!
Welcome back to this week’s Rookie Reply! Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or both, you’ll want to hear our hosts’ tips for preventing frozen pipes and what to do when it happens anyway. We also explore unpermitted rental property renovations, the nuances of buying properties that are for sale by owner (FSBO properties), and when and why to use electronic keypad door locks. You’ll even learn how to find the lender on ANY property in the nation the next time you plan a creative real estate deal!
