Think house hacking is dead in Denver’s high-interest market? It might seem impossible in today’s high-interest environment, but one savvy investor just showed it can still be done.
As Colorado’s real estate market continues to evolve, the age-old advice to “buy now or be priced out forever” takes on new relevance. This July market update explores how, even in a high-interest environment, savvy investors are finding ways to enter the market and build wealth through creative strategies like house hacking.
Jeff White, known for his impressive track record of living rent-free through creative real estate investing, recently closed on a $533,000 triplex in Denver with just 5% down. Despite a 6.75% interest rate, he structured the deal to live essentially rent-free.

The secret sauce? A combination of:

  • Strategic use of Section 8 tenants
  • Savvy negotiations for seller concessions
  • Buying down mortgage insurance for improved cash flow

Here’s how the numbers break down:

  • Two Section 8 units bring in about $4,000 in gross rent
  • Total monthly payment (PITI): $3,588
  • $400 set aside for maintenance and capital expenditures
  • Result: Jeff lives rent-free in the third unit

Even more impressive? When Jeff eventually moves out, he projects nearly $20,000 in annual cash flow.

The takeaway? Don’t let high interest rates scare you away from house hacking. If House Hacking poster child Jeff White can still make it work in 2024, there are likely opportunities for other savvy investors willing to crunch the numbers and think outside the box.

Interested in following in Jeff’s footsteps? Connect with Jeff White to explore house hacking possibilities in your area. The dream of living for free while building wealth through real estate is still very much alive.
