Hi community,I'm planning to house hack in Richmond or Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania and am considering renting by the room using short-term, mid-term, or long-term strategies.

I work full-time as a CPA audit manager at a Big 4 public accounting firm, and in my free time I would love to help and learn from an experienced investor with strategies similar to what I’m interested in (appreciation, single family (potential multi family), mid-term rental (potential short-term)).Open to any advice as well on how to make my first leap into actual investing!

Even then, many clients end up finding themselves working with a broker since lenders can change their guidelines, pricing, and terms etc.. at any moments notice.

They were mainly for long term vacancies, with exception of one.The first time was 2012 when I dabbled at buying a rental.

Hi Madhul,Investing in both LTR (Long-Term Rentals) and STR (Short-Term Rentals) can be a great strategy, especially with substantial capital.

It's great in terms of location, but the main issue that I have is that there is no public trashcan for the bus stop.This means that people are constantly littering around my property, and I am forced to pick up all of their trash.

You would want a contract spelling out the terms of the deal so everyone is covered. 

My goal is to buy the house, terminate the section 8 lease as soon as possible (at the lease term, to avoid eviction process), and search myself for other better tenants.

Especially after you have done a few, you may feel bolder in what you take on in terms of real desaster properties.

Should I discuss some bullet points and do a small contract between me and the buyer or is there a standard contract for such that we can agree up on terms prior to handing the deposit to the title company?
