I would get into your first home by either house hacking or a standard purchase. Then, focus on paying down your student loan debt while building equity at the same time. It is very normal to buy a home with other debt, especially at your income level. Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!

Hey Mr. Kurt, I have an off-market investors list I would be happy to add you to if you're interested. I represent the sellers, so your agent could still represent you.

Most of the time, the home warranty takes a long time to approve your repair, reach the property, and then they use low-quality materials. Therefore, I would advise against it.

As a realtor focused on helping investors in the Richmond area, I’d love to offer some insights. Richmond is a growing market with strong tenant demand from young professionals, families, and college students, depending on the neighborhood. The city offers more affordability compared to the DMV area, with many renovated homes selling below 350k giving you a better chance at finding a property that fits your budget while avoiding sky-high prices. It’s crucial to be mindful of area-specific dynamics, as some neighborhoods have higher crime rates. Having a reliable local team, including a property manager and a realtor familiar with the market, is the best way to avoid high-crime areas.

If you’re leaning towards Richmond or have more questions about the market here, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to guide you through the process, share some success stories, and help you avoid common rookie mistakes.

Hey Ms. Berman, in Richmond, most small multifamily properties range from 400-700k. I am not sure how this compares to Baltimore or D.C., but that should give you an idea of the prices down here. Feel free to reach out if there’s anything I can do for you.
