Horse House Hack! Not just a real estate investment, but an investment into my marriage. My wife is at peace sipping coffee & feeding her horses; her peace and happiness is priceless. What is not priceless...is the house and land required to experience that moment (especially for young newlyweds in DFW!) That is until we used a 3.5% FHA for a main house + ADU on 6 acres. The ADU now covers over half the mortgage + additional monthly income per horse the tenant desires to keep on site.

What was the outcome?

Happy wife. Happy life.
