Learn The Secrets That Took Me From One House Hack In 2009 To Owning A Multi-million Dollar Real Estate Portfolio Just By House Hacking While Juggling A Full-time Job And Small Children

Learn house hacking: live in one part of a home, rent the rest, and keep your full-time job.

You work hard. But how do you start building something beyond your paycheck?

You want to invest in real estate, but you have questions.

How much money do you need?

Could you qualify for financing?

Would your family be comfortable sharing part of a home?

How do you recognize a property that makes financial sense?

And with a full-time job and responsibilities waiting at home, when would you figure all of this out?

I understand those questions because I had to work through them, too.

House hacking gave me a place to start. It allowed me to combine a home I needed with an investment I could learn to manage.

This book will help you understand that approach and decide how it could fit your circumstances.

Start with a home you can live in—and a rental plan you can evaluate

House hacking means living in a property while renting out another portion. That could mean:

Renting a spare bedroom

Occupying one unit in a small multifamily property

Using a separate living space where legally permitted

The goal is to use rental income to help offset housing expenses while building experience as an owner and landlord.

It requires preparation. You need to understand the financing, operating costs, local requirements, and personal tradeoffs before buying.

The 5 to 9 Millionaire helps you see those decisions through the eyes of someone who has lived them. It helped me to live mortgage free.

Seven house hacks. Years of lessons you can learn from.

My real estate journey began in 2009.

I had a job, a growing family, and a desire to create more financial stability. I also had a lot to learn.

Over the next seventeen years, I completed seven house hacks. Along the way, I became a landlord, worked through renovations, dealt with rental challenges, and learned that a property can look impressive while being the wrong investment.

There were decisions I would repeat—and decisions I would approach very differently.

In this book, I share both.

You’ll see how my approach evolved as my experience grew, and why patience, preparation, and the numbers mattered more than appearances.

Meet the 2-10-5 Framework

2 years between purchases

5 rentals retained along the way

  1. Step one

    Buy a home to live in

    Live in part of it and rent out the rest.

  2. Step two

    Develop a workable rental plan

    Know the numbers before you move on.

  3. Step three

    Repeat while retaining the previous property

    Each move adds one more rental.

The 2-10-5 Framework gives you a way to think about building a portfolio over time: buy a home to live in, develop a workable rental plan, and when your finances, family circumstances, and loan requirements support another purchase, consider repeating the process while retaining the previous property.

The framework aims toward five retained rentals over ten years, with roughly two years between purchases.

Your timeline may look different. Every move needs to make sense on its own.

Inside the book, I explain the thinking behind the framework and the lessons that shaped it.

You work full time and want to explore real estate investing.

Re: A possible starting point of your own

I’m Guy Francois.

After experiencing homelessness as a teenager, owning a home meant something deeply personal to me. It meant stability, possibility, and a foundation for my family. When I began investing through house hacking, I didn’t know where every step would lead.

Over time, those purchases helped me build a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio while continuing to work.

Today, I’m a licensed real estate agent, property manager, investor, author, and coach.

I wrote The 5 to 9 Millionaire to share what I learned and help working people see a possible starting point of their own.

You deserve to understand the options before you decide what comes next.

Begin with one practical step

You don’t need to choose your next five properties today.

Start by understanding how the strategy works. Review your finances. Talk with your family. Learn what questions to ask before visiting properties.

The 5 to 9 Millionaire gives you a place to begin.
