You probably don’t care about my story. What matters is whether I can help you move forward. Here is the short version.
I’m John Steffen. Over the past five years I have closed more than 300 real estate transactions across Texas. My wife Hannah and I live on a small property in Weatherford with our horses, our dog Harvey, two barn cats Rachel and Donna, and a mini donkey Louis. It’s simple, peaceful, and us. It started with a simple step in 2021: renting out a spare room in our first home. That single move grew into four doors, real equity, steady cash flow, and a clear path to $1.5M in paid-off real estate before we turn forty.
I have seen the same results for my clients. Everyday people, from nurses, waitresses to engineers, now own homes that give them equity (far beyond blind dependence on market appreciation), lower housing costs, and peace of mind. The missing link for most first-timers is not motivation. The missing link is clarity. Online advice is conflicting, confusing, vague, and not local…while on the other side, most agents are too salesy, busy, or simply unincentivized to pour into beginners. That gap leaves first timers stuck, wasting years racking up debt and throwing money away to rent when they could be building an unshakable financial foundation. This gap is especially costly now with inflation at astronomical heights and wages barely budged.
House Hack Texas exists to fill that void. How? Every day I send a short email with real North Texas listings, broken down with the numbers and context that matter. The more deals you see, the sharper your instincts get. Confidence doesn’t come from merely knowing the concept of house hacking, a 3rd grader can teach you. It comes from daily exposure to opportunity, the good, bad, and the ugly.
For free, or a whopping $10 a month upgrade, you’ll get steady market reps and direct access to me, just reply to any email, it comes to a subscriber-only inbox. No guru coaching, courses, or upsells. Just clear, consistent guidance and a daily window into the market so you can connect the dots faster, flip the lightbulb on, and act when the right opportunity shows up.
It all starts with one home. One simple step. My job is to help you see it. Then honestly, any good agent can take you from offer to close. The important thing is, you won’t be blindly dependent on their or anyone else’s opinion. You got this.
More to come,
John
