In this episode of Keys to Success, Litra Simms explores the strategy of house hacking in real estate investing as a potential path to financial freedom. She clarifies house hacking as using part of one's own home as a rental, generating income to offset living expenses, particularly advantageous for first-time investors. The financial dynamics described emphasize the significant contribution from tenant rental income in covering the house owner's mortgage, taxes and insurance. A range of property types suitable for house hacking are discussed. Litra advises potential investors to consider the location for strong rental demand and also to be prepared for the challenges of tenant management. Furthermore, she highlights the necessity of understanding local zoning rules and permits. Ultimately, she posits house hacking as not just about cost saving but a wealth-building tool that sets a solid foundation for financial independence.
