@Tiffany Ward Yes we are! Thursday Jan. 27 at 6pm, we're going to meet at Brambly Park in Scott's Addition! You should come out!

Investor and agent here, living in Richmond city. Happy to hop on a phone call and help in any way I can.

The Fan seems to be the preferred spot for young adults to live with proximity to food, museums, etc, is pricier to get into, but can bring in higher rent as well. Manchester is plenty desirable as well, with lots of development happening, but fewer amenities.

Great job Ben! That's a very satisfying result - we have also personally benefitted from the fantastic growth in Richmond. What's next with your cash in hand?

Hi Liz! I'd be happy to talk and help! I live in the city, and have worked with VCU students and helping them find rentals. While I haven't rented in the Fan/Museum district personally, the rental market there is HUGE for students (if in the Fan) and for young adults in the Museum District and Byrd Park areas. Honestly, vacancy risk for any well-cared for rental, in that area, is almost nil.  I think renting out individual rooms, while you're personally occupying would be a little less attractive, but it's doable. Richmond has a host of traveling nurses due to the number of hospitals, so you can consider that route as well for short-term rentals in an extra room.

Shoot me a message and we can find a time to talk if you're interested!

Hi @Maya S., try Fabling Built, at fablingbuilt.com. They do everything, and do it well and reasonably!

@James Mbualungu sure thing! Our next meetup is scheduled for Oct. 14, location is TBD. We're thinking about connecting a bit and playing the Cash Flow board game!

Hey James, welcome to RVA! There are a few meet-ups that can be found on Meetup.com in the area. Less officially, a few of us from the BP Rookies FB page hooked up and have started meeting on the 2nd Thursday of every month, for fun, accountability, idea sharing, networking, etc.

@Ethan Sharrett thanks! Honestly, I had as inexpensive contractors as I've heard of. I think the only thing that could have saved me money was to do more homework on my contractors on the front end, to avoid having to fire one. And right, no roof on this one. A few years later, and I've only had to plunge a toilet a replace a section of gutter. Not too shabby.

Hi @Carrie Easton! Most of the realtors on our team use O'Brien Tax and Accounting for all our taxes and tax-planning needs. Less of a financial planner, more of a tax and income planner.

Good luck as you begin plans for your next house hack! If I can be of assistance, please reach out! I'm working with a handful of fellow BP investors in the Richmond area.

Hey Chris! I'm a fellow investor and realtor here in Richmond and happy to help! I don't have a solid lead on a PM in the city, but I'm sure others will chime in. If you pick up any properties a little south of town, I'd recommend Parr & Abernathy.
