Seeking NOVA townhome

I'm looking for a fixer-upper townhome to house hack in Loudoun or Fairfax county. The plan is to make improvements and rent out rooms. The goal is to be able to force some appreciation and reduce living expenses.

Agents, wholesalers and bird dogs feel free to PM me.

Criteria

3 Bedroom townhomes in need of light to moderate renovation

ARV: $275-350K

The locations you are looking at are not prime areas for trying to force the value of properties up. In fact in most of the locations, the cost to improve the property will raise the value by less than what you put into it. I might suggest a different strategy of already buying a place that is in descent condition, or look to the east side of DC or DC itself if you want to force appreciation onto a property.
