Househack and STR/MTR

Investment Info:

Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Cedar Park.

Cash invested: $37,000

We turn our garage into a studio to be rented as STR and MTR. We live in the main house and rent out the studio.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I wanted to house hack so bad to advance towards our financial goals but I didn't want to have people I didn't know anything about in my house with my kids so I tried to find a way to do it on my terms. That's how we ended up converting the garage into a studio with a separate entrance from the main house.

How did you finance this deal?
