@Taylor Wong,

Contact @Ryan Thomson about assumable properties. How much do you have for a down payment? 

Hey Taylor. I have done several assumptions and many of them were non veterans assuming a VA loan. Happy to talk if you would like to go this route.

@Fisher Hudak

A TON of respect for the hustle. My guy is out here living in his garage to make his house hack more profitable. Can you talk about delayed gratification?!

To make sure it's legal, I would dive deep into the zoning/code regulations and try to connect with someone in your area who is doing something similar. They might be able to steer you in the right direction.

To piggyback off of @Jake Andronico, I'd consult your lender about your intentions to see if they would need any specific requirements. That is a smart idea to prevent anything negatively happening with your loan. 

Just brainstorming here, but once you move on from this property, then maybe you can continue to rent the garage separately. I believe @Ryan Thomson had some success with that!

Good luck with everything! I can't wait to hear about how things turn out. 


 Sure have! They make great studio apartments

How does owning a home with a 2.75% interest rate sound?! Ryan is going to talk about how he is getting clients under contract on amazing deals with fantastic interest rates. It’s called “assumable mortgages”. It’s a popular strategy from the 80s and 2000s. With current high rates, we are seeing a resurgence of Assumable deals during this market. Come to the meetup this week to learn how you can buy a property with interest rates in the 2s, 3s, and 4s.

This strategy is for first time homebuyers, House Hackers and investors. Assumables allows you to assume the mortgage balance and interest rate of a current loan. it will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life and the loan And $1000-$2000 a month. Come learn about how this strategy can allow you to reach back into the past and buy a home with low rates!

We’ll be at the Renjoy office at 102 W Colorado (the same parking lot as Paul Mitchell)
