I dreamed of buying a home in San Mateo County but found the steep price tag daunting. Instead, I found a creative way to fulfill his goals without breaking the bank. I financed building a new home in the San Carlos hills along with a two-bedroom, two-bath second unit.
I rent out the main house to generate income as an investment property and live in the second unit. I receive all the benefits of living in a quiet neighborhood with great views, and can afford it.
I was single when I started construction, and now I’m married and looking to the future. I would definitely do this all again – it’s a formula for success.
