First time dmv investor advice
Hi all! I’m trying to learn as much as possible in doing my first deal but have a few questions.
I know Multis are hard to come by in the area, So trying to figure out a house hacking / rent by the room strategy. ideally, I’d like to find a place where I can live in a basement and house hack the upstairs or vice versa (S.O. and I would like to at least have our own kitchen space. Other things are flexible) I’m Open to various locations in the dmv but need help targeting them.
I don’t want to bother a realtor just yet as I’m in the middle of a lease and using that time to save and do research.
Secondly , I know ADUs would be good but I'd only like to live there the minimum and then move out and keep it as a rent by the room strategy. I don't think I can do that with an ADU, right?
So my main questions are:
1. What type of place should I look for?
2. Where do they exists?
3. How much do I need to save for this unicorn?
