It’s an old building but solid and cute. we were looking for something while we get everything all set up to buy our own house AND inherit my husband’s mother’s house. no application, no fees, no pet fee or pet deposit.

Hi AllI'm looking for the best path to take in regards to getting into rental properties in the Hagerstown, MD area (starting with a house hack).I'm still currently living at home with mom and dad while I'm finishing up my last year in college and working full time making ~50K and am able to save/invest most of it due to my only real expenses being a car payment and insurance.I have about $30k saved up between cash and a brokerage account and a pretty solid credit score of around 740 so I shouldn't have much trouble with loan rates.My main question is - would it be more beneficial to wait it out and buy properties with a conventional loan and 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance or would it be better to use an FHA loan just to get my foot in the door and start my rental property journey.Any and all advice/input is greatly appreciated.

realtor should help you out with a solid ARV. you always want to make sure you have a solid out before you get in. 

I just keep working but would take solid vacation every month.

Sounds like you're still working on the project @Geoff Nielson, but you picked a solid neighborhood in Indy.

IT was solid paper.I follow Peer st. offering of new origination and their notes are going out at about 6  to 7% to investors so yields have come down at least at that company. 

I personally feel like carpenters are one of the most mysterious and aloof people out there...Anyways, I request a lot of bids for each part of the rehab process and along the way I've found some pretty great people that are cost competitive and provide high quality work.For example, I can provide some pretty solid recommendations for:Egress windows, electrician, window installation, storm doors, flooring (carpet/vinyl planks), hardwood floor refinishing.I can provide contacts for other jobs like carpentry, drywall, etc. but the ones listed above are the best of the best.I've found it pretty challenging to find a reliable handyman and carpenter.

I looked into buying a cash-flowing multi in places like Lowell, Worcester and Brockton, places where you can get a solid cap rate and I think are ripe for organic rent growth and appreciation (though markets like Worcester have gone up quite a bit recently).Places in Boston hold value and tend to appreciate, and the rental market is great.

I just have a quick question regarding how to find a solid mentor.

I would think the demand is pretty solid there.
