Newbie from Lexington, KY....Soon to be Richmond, VA

[Joedocei Hill]

Hello All,

My name is Joedocei Hill and I am currently a student in Lexington, KY. I am a software developer by trade and will soon be moving to Richmond, VA to begin my development career after graduation.

I have been interested in REI for about a year now and have spent most of this time reading books, listening to podcast, lurking the BP forums, and attending a few local REIA meetings. With the knowledge I have gained I am looking to get off the sidelines and start failing forward and making progress not perfection.

Since I am moving to Richmond, VA I would like to begin my REI journey by investing into a multi-family property and house hacking it. Being that I would live in the residence I am leaning towards seeking an FHA loan as my funding source. Also being that I am new, I would like anyone (not only those is Richmond) to critique my plan or offer any advice on finding a good out-of-state property and acquiring the loan for a property in a different state that I will be moving to.

Lastly, while I am still in Lexington, KY if there is anyone who would like to connect or that I could be of service to, please just reach out and let's schedule a time maybe grab a coffee/smoothie and talk shop :)

Thank you for your time!

@Joedocei Hill glad to see you are learning and getting involved in the local REIA. That will really be one of your best resources in continuing your REI education. I encourage you to find your local REIA group when you get to Richmond. If you come to our next REIA meeting in Lexington you are more than welcome to come say hi to me and I will help you in any way I can.
