Kami Brown is a realtor from Atlanta, Georgia, who has revealed exactly how she became a landlady in just two and a half years.
As she revealed in a TikTok video (@ms_kmb) it began when she got an FHA loan to buy her first home with just 3.5% down.
The FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loan is a government-backed loan for first-time buyers that has no income limit.
“We bought out first house and we lived in it for two and a half years,” said Kami in the video.
After that, she pulled out a home equity line of credit (HELOC).
With that money, Kami was able to put the downpayment on her next house.
Therefore, she was able to turn her first house into a rental property.
“So we became landlords, we moved into our new house,” she said.
“Our first house now has tenants living in it.”
HOUSE HACKING
This strategy is known as house hacking, and the biggest benefit is that the tenants cover the mortgage and expenses on the property while the owner gets to keep building equity in it.
“The house hacking part of that is that all we had to do was put down 3.5%,” said Kami.
