House Hacking Strategy in MD

Albert G.
Posted

Hi Everybody,

I'm 23 years old and looking into purchasing my first property this year. My strategy is to use an FHA loan to purchase a 3-4BR / 2+BA townhome or SFH for $200k-$275k and house hack for at least 1 year before transitioning the property to a long term rental. Locations that I'm interested in purchasing in and where I've seen listings that fit my criteria are in the Severn, Laurel, and Columbia areas.

If anybody has experience in these markets with house hacking or other investment strategies, I'd love to connect and hear any advice or information you may have.

Albert, 

I'm not from your market but I'm also a 23 year old who is looking to use an FHA loan (maybe conventional not 100% sure yet) to purchase my first house hack this year too!

Would love to connect and talk real estate sometime. My DMs are always open.
