@Ken P. Thank you!

@Jorge Pereira Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it! Any areas in particular in PG or Montgomery that are good for younger people (35 and below)? I'm asking for me, in terms of what area would be good for me to live in (I'm 24 now). As far as investing right now I don't have particular preferences yet.

@M Marie M. I've been to Columbia Heights and I liked the residential feel to it. I've also been to Capitol Hill, Dupont/Logan Circle area and the Navy Yard but I assumed that those areas would be way too expensive for me to bother looking at. Would you mind me asking where you have your other investments? I'm very open to other options whether it be DC, Maryland or Virginia...I'm just trying to get a feel for what area would be best for me. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Russell. Do you have any suggestions of where I can look at potential properties online just to see what’s out there? I’m 24 and I would prefer to be in/closer to the city but I wouldn’t mind living in a residential area either. 

Hi Everyone,

I’m just starting out (haven’t yet bought a property) but I’m preparing myself to purchase within the next year or two. I currently live in Boston and the market here is too expensive and I don’t plan on being here too much longer.

I’ve gone to DC many times in the past year and so far it’s my favorite city, I’m hoping to move there soon and I’m interested in what areas are good to look at. I know with the city slowly changing, the recommended areas may change by the time I’m ready to buy. But I’m interested in house hacking and rental properties particularly in multi families and 2-4 unit buildings. Does anyone have any suggestions of what areas to look at and what websites would be useful to look at properties in DC?

Thanks,

Olivia

Will do, if I have any questions I definitely shoot you a message. Thanks Michael!

 Thanks for your message Charlie! I been listening to the podcasts for the past few weeks but I'm going to try and finish these books quickly so that I can listen to more podcasts and follow along. If I have any questions along the way, I won't hesitate to reach out. Thanks again!

Hi BP!

My name is Olivia, currently 23 yrs old (about to be 24) living in Boston and I am very interested in investing in real estate. I have my bachelors in nutrition and am currently pursuing a degree in public health. I have no background in real estate or investing so I’ve been taking time to read up on it. Right now I’ve started to read books like Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant to get a foundation to start with. My goal is to buy my first property by 26/27 and continue investing from there. 

Any advice/tips for someone like me who is just starting? I’ve read through BPs beginners guide (which is great!) but I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks,

Olivia
