About the Hosts: Luke Rzepiennik & Michael Vialpando

Luke started house hacking with his wife Lexi in 2017 by getting a roommate to rent out their basement on the northeast side of Colorado Springs in typical suburban neighborhood. What started as a little extra spending money and help with the mortgage turned into an idea to repeat the process. In 2019, they made the jump and bought an up/down duplex near Old Colorado City. They lived in the smaller lower unit and rented the main level on Airbnb. Even though they started in March of 2020, they did amazing and quickly climbed to be one of the best listings in the Springs. They repeated the process and recently closed on another duplex in the Ivywild area. Luke is passionate about helping others get started and loves learning other creative strategies from other investors.

After graduating college and getting married, Michael and Kim sold the 5 bedroom "dream home" on 5 acres in Monument, Colorado, that they bought right out of school. They lived their for two years and eventually realized they hadn't saved or invested much at all during that time. After realizing that the big house and keeping up with the Joneses wasn't all that it was cracked up to be, they sold their home and bought a house and cottage in the downtown COS area. They rented out the cottage on Airbnb and got roommates for the other bedrooms in the main house. It worked. They could finally afford to travel whenever they wanted AND save and invest more of their income at the same time. They have since repeated the process several times in the downtown Colorado Springs area as they continue to grow their real estate portfolio. Michael is excited to meet new people who are investing in creative ways, and loves sharing and helping others get started with their first deal.
