@Kris Kelley

House Hacking can save you money in the following ways:

  • Lowering your monthly housing allowance through generating revenue renting out portions of your property.
  • Lowering your taxable income base by acquiring extra tax write offs (mortgage interest deduction).
  • Decreasing transportation costs like gas.
  • Decreasing unproductive time spent sitting in traffic.
  • Having the possibility of removing your car payment, insurance, and maintenance expenses completely.
  • Learning how to be a landlord and transitioning into the world of real estate investing.
  • And more!

All the best!

Hello! I am in the Dallas area, but born and raise in STL and my family is still there! I travel there often so if you have any meetups, I may attend one day!
