What type of property are you targeting? House hack? Home where you can rent the basement? Do you want move in ready, or something that needs some work? I think there are still diamonds in the rough in this market, especially with low interest rates.

I am looking for a 3B/2BA that is something I can work on, but doesn't need to be completely gutted. Will be living in it for approx. 2/2.5 years with a roommate who will pay rent, and then will most likely be moving somewhere else and will need to rent it out.

With the general uptick in sales during the spring, I am assuming that will increase my chance at finding a favorable listing. I wanted to prioritize location with the closer to DC being better in long term for the resale value.

Hey everyone, I am new to BP forums and was wondering if anyone has any advice on buying in the seller-friendly market. I am active duty and looking to use my VA loan on a property in the Northeast DC area, but given the inflation of prices and buy and hold long term strategy, this limits my options? Should I wait longer to look at properties, or is it still a good time to buy my first property? Thanks everyone!
