Tanner Pile
Tanner is a seasoned real estate investor who launched his career through house hacking after earning a finance degree from Colorado State University–Pueblo. With a background in construction and a growing portfolio of three properties totaling seven units, he specializes in a mix of long-term and short-term rentals, as well as the co-living strategy.
His passion lies in helping others achieve wealth and financial freedom through strategic real estate investing. When he's not managing properties or mentoring others, Tanner enjoys Colorado's great outdoors — skiing, soccer, and golf — and is an avid reader of business and real estate books.
Transforming a 2022 duplex into a high-performing asset
In 2022, Tanner purchased a duplex with the goal of house hacking — living in one unit while renting the other to cover expenses. Set up to generate cash flow through a mix of long-term and co-living rentals, it let him live affordably while steadily building equity.
House hack with long-term & co-living rentals
Tanner lived in one unit and rented the other. The second unit was set up for long-term tenants, while his own unit was partially rented as a co-living space to maximize income — renting individual rooms generated more than a standard lease, keeping his living costs low while cash flow stayed steady.
Moving out & remodeling
After building equity, Tanner moved out and converted both units into short-term rentals. He remodeled with updated kitchens, bathrooms, and durable furnishings, converted the garages into finished square footage, and staged for Colorado visitors with a cozy, mountain-inspired vibe. He secured STR permits from the City of Colorado Springs — the property was zoned R2 and located over 500 feet from another non-owner-occupied STR — so both units could legally operate.
Key takeaways
Value-add potential
Cosmetic rehab and converting the garages into finished square footage significantly boosted property value and rental-income potential.
Equity growth
The duplex appreciated in value due to market trends and the strategic improvements made during the remodel.
Hands-free management
By leveraging Renjoy for property management, Tanner kept the property a passive, hassle-free investment while maintaining high performance.
House hacking a downtown fourplex with owner financing
Tanner purchased a downtown fourplex using owner financing — securing favorable terms while implementing a multi-income rental strategy. By combining long-term, short-term, and storage rentals, he covered his mortgage and lived for free, with the downtown location ensuring high demand.
The house-hack setup
- Personal residence: lived in the basement unit.
- Long-term rental: one unit leased to a long-term tenant for steady income.
- Short-term rentals: two units remodeled and furnished for Airbnb guests.
- Storage rental: the four-car garage rented out for additional income.
Key takeaways

Owner financing reduced upfront costs and secured favorable terms.
Multiple income streams
A mix of long-term, short-term, and storage rentals increased overall cash flow.
Free living
Rental income covered the owner's housing expenses entirely.
High-demand location
