Buy a house hack.

My name is Jon Schwartz. I’m an investor, house hacker, and realtor in Los Angeles.I started House Hack Los Angeles to help savvy homebuyers navigate the LA market and find opportunities for wealth creation through rental income and equity growth.Whether your next home is a condo, house, duplex, or fixer, I leverage my experience and network to see your plan through to its completion.I want your next home purchase to be the best investment you’ve ever made.

I've done this a lot (but don't take my word for it).

As a realtor focusing on house hacking, Jon clearly lays out the numbers for you so that you get a holistic idea of what the property entails. At the end of the day, you can trust that you'll end up with the right property for you and not just any one that gets the job done.

As a first time investor, it's natural to have trepidation about venturing into something as daunting as real estate. But with Jon by my side that trepidation turned to confidence because the bedrock of Jon's investing philosophy are numbers and hard data.
