Jenny and Leah, our favorite Colorado Springs realtors, share with us how they helped a client in becoming a real estate expert by purchasing a remarkable property in Woodland Park with the intention of renting out a portion of it. 


Short and Long-Term Rental

Leah elaborates on how she worked closely with their client to locate the ideal property that would not only meet their requirements but also offer the possibility of short and long-term rental. To put it mildly, the client struck gold! He had purchased a previous fantastic house with a separate entrance that was transformed into a duplex, and now, he bought a property with a 5 bed 3 bath House Hack. It’s also important to mention that he only pays about $550 a month to live there. It’s akin to winning the lottery, but with Real Estate.


The most astonishing aspect of this situation is that this savvy client only invested $14,000 and will recover the entire sum in a mere 4 years. In just 48 months, he will have 2 incredible properties converted into rentals. That’s what we call intelligent investing!
