If you're from the area you know NoVA isn't the easiest place to traditionally buy.I have a storage unit full of good-quality furniture that I'd love to make use of (and save on that monthly bill).

Hello, I know this is an old post; however I'm now looking for a duplex in NOVA or southern MD.

thanks The price you're suggesting, $250k, is less than the price of land.Household income in NoVa is like $125k.

I haven't started actively hunting for deals yet, although I am communicating with my RE agent regarding multifamily properties in my county and the surrounding counties.Location: Front Royal, VA, although I'm looking at the greater area as well; Financials: ~$11,000 available to invest; REI/tenant Experience = no hands-on experience, ongoing reading of BP books/forums/podcasts/blog posts, etc.Top questions at the moment are:1) What are the top considerations regarding house hacking, especially in an expensive market such as in/around NOVA, that a new investor such as myself probably won't have considered?

NoVA uses a different form.

Where in NOVA is it?

We would like to connect with experienced investors in Nova Scotia who are willing to share their experiences and know- how's to build an aspiring real estate portfolio.  

I was cleaning the last lath & plaster rubble out of a wall cavity yesterday and found a Nova Scotia Penny from 1867 {the last minting before Confederation}.

Being from NOVA, real estate investing here is out of the question, of course.

There is a DC REIA in Upper Marlboro and also a NOVA REIA that I just went to yesterday in Annandale, VA.
