Newbie from Lexington, KY....Soon to be Richmond, VA

Hello All,

My name is Joedocei Hill and I am currently a student in Lexington, KY. I am a software developer by trade and will soon be moving to Richmond, VA to begin my development career after graduation.

I have been interested in REI for about a year now and have spent most of this time reading books, listening to podcast, lurking the BP forums, and attending a few local REIA meetings. With the knowledge I have gained I am looking to get off the sidelines and start failing forward and making progress not perfection.

Since I am moving to Richmond, VA I would like to begin my REI journey by investing into a multi-family property and house hacking it. Being that I would live in the residence I am leaning towards seeking an FHA loan as my funding source. Also being that I am new, I would like anyone (not only those is Richmond) to critique my plan or offer any advice on finding a good out-of-state property and acquiring the loan for a property in a different state that I will be moving to.

Lastly, while I am still in Lexington, KY if there is anyone who would like to connect or that I could be of service to, please just reach out and let's schedule a time maybe grab a coffee/smoothie and talk shop :)

Thank you for your time!
