Do not hesitate to ask if you need anything. 

So your take away is to not be hesitant and to just go for it even if the deal may not pencil out?  

This has contributed to lower inventory as sellers are hesitant to walk away from their historically mortgage costs, but the start of the pandemic era rates is now four years ago (2020) and life events often eventually force property sales.

I'm not opposed to this strategy however, after looking into NC section 8 state rules/regulations, I have some hesitations.

I would be hesitant.

If we didnt have these things I'd be hesitant to get started in long distance.

Those waiting for a recession will be waiting for a LONG time...it isn't happening this economic cycle, the stubbornly high inflation rates indicate that.A few points above to reiterate: (1) real estate is LOCAL, while there may be some worrying trends nationally, the Harford County market is strong and will stay that way IMO, (2) timing the market is generally a fools errand if you have a long term outlook (if you're looking at short term investments then timing factors in more), (3) if you're looking for a place to live (not strictly an investment) then there are a lot of other important factors to consider.Bottom line is that if you have the means, and if you intend to own the place for 5 or more years, I personally wouldn't hesitate to jump in.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us.

I have a partner who will be assisting with my mortgage payments, so I'm hesitant on whether I should house hack, build a second unit on the property, or just live in it until I have enough equity to do a refinance. 

If you ever need professional assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out.
