Sneaky Duplex: How to Generate Income From a Private Room in Your Home
Jun 20, 2023 Season 5 Episode 18
Kristina Modares & Steph Douglass

Today, we're chatting about the Sneaky Duplex house hacking strategy. Totally fine if you've never heard of it before - we actually coined the phrase a few years ago! We define a Sneaky Duplex rental as: "...specifically the act of adding an exterior door to a bedroom in your home to make it a separate space for short- or long-term rental."

Co-Founders Kristina & Steph share tips and stories from their own experiences hosting guests in these spaces. And, how to get your space back for a bit - if you need a break from renting!

Are you into this idea? Join us at Kristina's Sneaky Duplex next week, 6/28! That's where we're hosting this month's Women Investor Group Meetup. RSVP here + friends are welcome: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/649174938717
