With multifamily, just be cognizant of where it actually exists. The Virginia side of the border only has a few that sell every year. Most of the multifamily that exists is in DC proper, typically in Trinidad, Kingman Park, Capitol Hill, Anacostia, Deanwood, Shaw, Columbia Heights.

A number get mislisted in the MLS accidently as single family homes. I just combed through the data the other day and identified 28 current listings in the single family section of the MLS that are in fact multifamilies.

Hey Russell! Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'd love to chat with you more about multifamilies and locations for investing.

Hello BP! I am excited to start my RE journey and hope to purchase my first property this year. I am currently renting in Charlottesville as I've just graduated from college, but looking to house hack and purchase a duplex/multifamily in the DMV (DC, Maryland, and Virginia) area. I am primarily looking in the central VA neighborhoods (Albemarle County), NOVA, and Washington DC area based on my current location/job.

This is the second time I posted this since I realized I had no clear intention with my first introduction. I am very eager to learn and absorb as much as possible. Looking forward to connecting with any DMV investors and the BP community. Thank you!!

Thanks for reaching out, house hacking is a very effective strategy in the D.C. area, feel free to reach out if you want to know anything more about that strategy.

Hey Jack! I would love to connect and chat about this when you have some time!

Hey everyone! My name is Ricky and I am a recent graduate from UVA. I'm new to Bigger Pockets/RE and have been reading through the UBG to get started. I am currently in Charlottesville/RIchmond,VA and I would love to connect with those in the DMV area to learn more about real estate investing. I hope to acquire my first property this year and make meaningful friends along the way! Any insight or meetup would be super helpful!
