Best location in the 804 area code (RVA) to do a traditional house hack?

[Joshua Smith]

I am looking into getting my first house hack at the end of this year by going the traditional route and getting a multi-family. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best locations in the 804 area code (Greater Richmond, Virginia) for me to start? I currently rent in RVA, but I'm wondering if there's a better location outside of the city for me to start and grow.

Would appreciate any advice, I love hearing different opinions! Thanks!
