Dumont 2-Family: Last Closing of 2025, First Tenant of 2026
How I helped a family execute their house hacking plan in Bergen County.
The Situation
A family wanted to buy a 2-family home, live in one unit, and rent the other. They needed full-service support from property search through tenant placement.
The Process
Evaluated multiple 2-family homes across Bergen County
Found the right property in Dumont, NJ
Closed the deal end of 2025
Prepared rental unit and found qualified tenant early 2026
The Outcome
Family has a comfortable home in one unit
Tenant in second unit provides monthly rental income
Housing costs significantly reduced
Building equity in an appreciating market (7.98% annual appreciation)
