House Hacker wanting more
Greetings to the Bigger Pockets Community. I've been house hacking for the last several years. Part of this time, I didn't realize I was doing it. I have a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home in Southern California. For the past two years, I have been doing mid-term and short-term rentals for two of the bedrooms. I've been saving my pennies and waiting for the two-year mark so I can show the rental income for a loan in the future. I'm hoping to be able to find a home nearby that I can manage and rent by the room or house hack like I have been doing. Last year, I was able to bring in enough revenue to cover the mortgage and all of the utilities with a little extra to spare. I would like to grow my real estate portfolio and ultimately make real estate a big chunk of my retirement plan.
