I’ve had tools i my hands before I could even walk.I’ve also watched mother quarrel with her sisters over ownership of raw land coming from a grandparents will.

In the process of purchasing a SFR that my sister will be renting from me.But doing this has led me to want to do more, and I'm looking to purchase a du/triplex in the Richmond, VA area that I'd house hack.Anyone here a realtor or investor in the area that wouldn't mind discussing the local market with me a little more?

Hi Josh,I love AZ and the areas you mentioned.PHX is a sister city to Charlotte NC so our price points and RE are similar.Yes even SFHs in subdivisions will have HOAs. as does EVERY CONDO/TH complex.Before you decide-- find out EXACTLY what the HOA covers.In condos/th here, the norm is to coverall yard work, landscaping, EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE (love that!)

At the same time I was teaching and learning how to be a licensed realtor I decided to partner with my sister and go into the restaurant industry back in 2014. 

@ALBERT BUIHi @Albert Bui, can I do FHA 3.5% with my sister as a co-borrower who is a non-occupant on a 2-4 plex?

I do not live in Maine - my sister does lol 

My sister and I co-owned a 14 unit which we inherited--there was a decent amount of deferred maintenance.

My sister and I are very close.

Hi, my sister and I are new to flipping in the North OC area.  

I have a couple monthly payments that are through my parents as well as my sister, which are my phone bill and car insurance - according to what I was just reading on my most recent credit report is that the more accounts I have the better it will be for building good credit.
