Could you be sitting on a hidden income stream? In this episode of Landlord Diaries, The Monthly Rentals Podcast, we sit down with Denver-based real estate investor and landlord Andre Galaviz, who shares how he turned his basement into a midterm rental bringing in over $2,500 in monthly profit without buying a new property.
With rising interest rates and housing affordability tightening, Andre’s story is a must-hear for anyone looking to house hack, maximize a current mortgage, or start cash flowing without acquiring a second home. Tune in to hear how he converted his single-family home into a functional duplex, financed the remodel with a HELOC, and leveraged Furnished Finder to attract high-quality tenants all while living upstairs with his family.
Andre breaks down:
- What types of tenants he's attracting (spoiler: it's not just travel nurses!)
- How room rentals (co-living) and house hacking can help offset today’s high interest rates
- Why monthly furnished rentals are the perfect complement to or replacement for short-term and long-term strategies
