REAL DEALS FOR REAL CLIENTS

$0 Down House Hack: First-Time Homebuyer Success

Jocelyn successfully secured a house hack in Spanish Fork, Utah for a client with $0 down, taking full advantage of a first-time homebuyer program. The client acquired a property featuring 2 bedrooms in the basement and 3 upstairs. The innovative plan involves the client and his wife living in the basement while renting out the upstairs to tenants. This strategic arrangement significantly reduces their monthly payment to $1,300. Furthermore, once they move into their next house hack, this property is projected to generate a cash flow of $200 per month. This case study exemplifies how first-time homebuyers can leverage creative strategies and expert guidance to achieve financial stability and investment growth.

First-Time Investor Secures Under-Market Four-Plex in Provo

In Provo, Utah, near BYU, Jocelyn helped a first-time investor purchase a four-plex with 25% down. The property, acquired under market value, produces a cash flow of $100 per month. As interest rates drop, this cash flow is expected to increase significantly. Jocelyn guided the investor through every step of the process, from buying and analyzing the property to setting up property management systems. With her support, the investor is now equipped to self-manage the property efficiently, ensuring long-term profitability and growth.

College Housing Investment: Smart Strategy Yields Monthly Cash Flow

A savvy investor purchased a property in Taylorsville, Utah for their college-bound child, transforming a typical expense into a profitable investment. By buying a house near the Salt Lake Community College, the investor saved on rent and provided a stable living environment for their child. Additionally, they rented out the extra rooms to the child’s friends, generating a positive cash flow of $100 per month. This strategic move not only covered their child’s housing costs but also created a sustainable income stream throughout the college years. This case study illustrates the benefits of using real estate investment to offset educational expenses and secure financial gains.

Expanding Investment: 2nd House Hack

Jocelyn met a client who had already begun his real estate journey by renting out rooms in his townhome to offset his rent. Unsure of the next steps, he sought Jocelyn’s expertise. Together, they secured a house in Orem, Utah, featuring a mother-in-law apartment. The property includes 3 bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs. The client and his fiancée moved into the basement while renting out the upstairs. This strategic move allowed him to rent out his entire townhome at a cash-flowing price. By purchasing the new house with only 5% down as his primary residence, he reduced his monthly mortgage responsibility to $800. Now, with two properties being paid off by tenants, he plans to buy another house hack in a year. Jocelyn’s guidance helped the client expand his investment portfolio and significantly lower his housing costs, setting him on a path for future real estate success.
