The redevelopment also includes 250,000 square feet of retail, park areas, and a transit hub, which will make homes near the redevelopment highly desirable for future buyers.

I love real estate and the Richmond, VA area, which is why I wish to pursue a career that can educate me on how I can invest in real estate in the future in Richmond.

Don't be obnoxious, but a few open ended questions may give you good insight into what your unit may be lacking and what people do like about it, to help drive future upgrades and marketing, and maybe help compensate for a shortcoming in the short term too.

That's a relationship you should hold close as they could really help with future challenging acquisitions that are viewed less favorably by banks.

The day you start siphoning cash flow out of your real estate portfolio, you are stifling future growth.

I do not know enough or want to look into it.I will take this another direction though - should they actually rebuild those homes or should they re-evaluate the area and implement a plan to properly zone and master plan those areas to avoid this in the future.

It was about ~15minutes going over any questions that I have + going over general future steps.

Given your focus on equity and scaling for future development, targeting properties where you can force appreciation through value add renovations seems like a natural fit.

From a credit perspective, house hacking also helps you build strong cash flow, which can make it easier to secure financing for future deals.Additionally, if you're targeting high-appreciation markets, you could also look into cash-out refinancing down the line to pull equity and fund additional investments.

I think one of the biggest risks you face with Cash Out is interest rate risk.It's really difficult to predict where interest rates will be in a 2-5 year time period, so it can also be challenging to model out future mortgage rates.
