DENVER - eTradeWire -- The Denver Real Estate Meetup, a free monthly gathering for Denver real estate investors, will close out its sixth year with a holiday party Wednesday, Dec. 9, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Jackson's LODO, 1520 20th St. in Denver.

The event is open to anyone interested in real estate investing, from first-time house hackers to investors with established portfolios. Guests are invited to join an annual networking Yankee swap by bringing a small wrapped gift, such as a book that inspired them, something from their business or something that could help another investor.

What began as a house hacking meetup has grown over more than six years into a community of more than 2,770 members on Meetup.com. Each month combines open networking with education from a guest speaker on topics such as house hacking, rent-by-the-room, short-term rentals, financing and property management.

"The best part of this group has always been the people. Every month someone walks in thinking real estate is out of reach and walks out with a plan, a lender to call or a partner to look at deals with," said Chad Rocke, a Denver real estate agent and investor with eXp Realty who helps host the meetup. "The holiday party is our chance to thank everyone who showed up this year and to welcome the people who are just getting started."

The party is hosted by The FI Team and Mike Stone of Threepoint Mortgage.

Rocke, who bought his first house hack in 2015 and now owns 11 rental doors across two states, said interest in accessory dwelling units has grown since Denver expanded where ADUs are allowed. He rents out the detached ADU behind his own Wash Park home and recently published a guide, "How to House Hack in Denver With an ADU," at https://www.cityofdenverhomes.com/blog/how-to-house-hack-in-denver-with-an-adu.

"A lot of Denver buyers do not realize the house they are already looking at might come with a second income," Rocke said. "My ADU cuts our mortgage about in half. I want more people in this city to know that option exists and to run the real numbers before they buy."

The event is free. RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/the-denver-real-estate-meetup/.
