Hey Matthew, welcome to the posting part of the community!  I hope you find it the interactions here to be useful. 

I am an agent/investor in Harrisonburg.  I would love to share stories and experiences in investing in the Harrisonburg area. 

@Eddy Dumire ,

The transition from the MRIS to the CAAR MLS begins around Woodstock. So, Harrisonburg will rarely have any listings in the MRIS.

We do use Sentrilock. 

FYI, I may have a pretty ideal unit for your situation.  Ideal location and it's a larger unit with 3 beds and 3 baths.  

Eddy, my wife and I will be out of town this weekend otherwise I would have been happy to discuss the local market.  I'd be happy to weigh in if you have any questions. 

Jonathan,

I've thought this property would make a good Airbnb/VRBO.  I have yet to analyze it from a cash flow perspective.

Hey Jason,

Have you tried Bank of the James and Park View Federal Credit Union in Harrisonburg?  I can email you direct contact information. 

Justin, we are currently in a sellers market.  I just ran statistics for last month and the inventory is 30% below what it was at this time last year.  In other words, prices are being driven up with all the demand and lack of supply.  I do come across opportunities every now and again for good cash flow or house hack type scenario.  

Clear Title and Escrow in Front Royal would be a settlement agency not too far off.  

Samantha, I would be happy to talk to them as well to help get an idea of valuation.  

Hi Jean, 

Since you're relatively close to Harrisonburg, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, and Richmond, student housing could be a good investment opertunity. 

@Jack G. I'm an agent in Harrisonburg.  I also love the idea of financial independence through investing.  As you might be able to guess, I believe strongly in real estate investing.  

After reading your information, the one challenge I would have for you is to not stay in your job just because it will forgive some of your loans. $40,000 over 6 years is only $6,666.67 a year. If you can find a job that pays you more, than that a year, it's a better deal. Plus, you can then choose to pay off your student debt or invest in real estate with that money. 

I meet frequently with people interested in starting their investment journey.  I'd be happy to meet with you to just network or to talk about possible investment strategies.
