Our English-speaking colleagues long ago invented a special term to denote a new method of loan repayment - house hacking. It will be discussed in today's real estate slang lesson.

❝House hacking is a strategy for repaying a loan for the purchase of real estate, in which the owner partially rents out the object in order to cover the mortgage and related expenses with his income.❞

In fact, the owner himself does not spend a penny, since the mortgage is paid by the tenant. You simply become a kind of intermediary for the transfer of money from one instance to another, while also living in a new home for nothing. The scheme is quite unexpected, but it works. Of course, if we are talking about a one-room apartment, you will have to live elsewhere, but more spacious objects are quite suitable. It is especially convenient to apply the house-hacking strategy to a house, because with a simple movement of the hand it can be turned into a townhouse.

Example of use:

—- And where did you get so much money for such a house?

—- And I don't have them.

-- How is it?

—- Have you heard anything about house hacking? I just moved tenants, so I cover the loan payments from their pockets.
