About this Event
House Hacking Happy Hour 🍻
Live for less. Invest smarter. Build wealth.
Want to reduce — or eliminate — your housing payment while building long-term wealth? It starts with a drink and a plan.
Join The Hampton Collective (THC), Landmark Property Management for a House Hacking Happy Hour at Bar 10 in Chicago. This casual, after-work event is designed for first-time buyers and aspiring investors who want to learn how multi-unit ownership can unlock powerful wealth-building opportunities without needing massive upfront capital.
What Is House Hacking?
House hacking is the strategy of purchasing a 2–4 unit property, living in one unit, and renting out the others to help offset your mortgage — sometimes entirely. With the right approach (and as little as 3.5% down sometimes $0 down), you can build equity, generate cash flow, and create a strong foundation for long-term wealth.
What to Expect:
🍹 A relaxed happy hour at Bar 10 that includes 2 complimentary drink tickets per person
🎤 A live, informal panel discussion led by THC and Landmark Property Management, plus local experts
💬 Open Q&A with trusted lenders, attorneys, inspectors, and real estate professionals
📋 Practical, take-home insights you can actually use
Topics We’ll Cover:
- How to qualify for low down payment financing
- What to look for when buying a 2–4 unit property in Chicago
- Tenant considerations, protections, and risk mitigation
