@Ray Arends,

I'm starting to take a look at Hagerstown myself. What is it about that market demographic-wise that makes it work? Any keys to look for in the multifamily market there?

@david tolson, have you had any success in Hagerstown. I've heard a few things about the area and interested in investing there.

welcome Josh, I'm no expert, but I would dig a little deeper to find out what you're equity would be if you sold it, and how much you could stand to make after closing costs. Also I would take a look at increasing rent if (you can validate doing that) to at least break even. Another option is to use a friend/or someone you know in the area to manage the property for you for a lower price. 

The home is still an asset that you can leverage, but the opportunity trade-off needs to be looked at for you. 

Good luck, thank you for your service.

@Nick what kind of commercial properties do you have in northern va?

@Brandon Bryant welcome to BP, being single gives you the flexibility to house hack, which means you can live in your home and rent out rooms and/or make improvements over time to achieve or increase cash flow/value. I live in Clinton and haven't hit a REIA yet but plan to in the near future. Maybe we'll run into each other.

@william rose, super impressed with how thought out your plan is. I wish I was that put together at your age. If I can help let me know.
