Welcome to BP, @Makenzi Kurvits-Statum.  It is great that you are getting started at an early age.  I am not sure about the exact dynamics of the Roanoke market but I have visited the Star City on numerous occasions and Roanoke seems to be up and coming.  Best wishes as you get started!  

Hey Jared,

Welcome to BP, LaToya!  The site is full of so much good information the challenge we all face is narrowing it down to get the right information.  I know you will do that and wish you the best as you begin investing in real estate.  Happy learning and investing.

Hi Matt- we did a historic restoration in Fredericksburg, www.BraeheadManor.Com, that was eligible for state tax credits.  We ultimately paid someone to file the needed paperwork for the eligible work (certain work was counted toward the tax credits, other work was not).  Thus, it is important to know what is eligible going in.  Our overall experience was decent  but others have had a harder time.  I can certainly give you more details if you would like to pm me.  Best wishes and good luck!

Welcome to BP, Dustin!  I hope you find the site as helpful as I have.  

Good luck in starting your investing.  Only advice I would offer you at this point is to remember that in addition to down payment you will of course have initial expenses for closing costs, renovations (if needed), and insurance.  Best wishes and good luck!!

Did they give you a Residential Property Disclosure listing any major defects? If not, and there are major defects perhaps you have an out? Or, is it a part of an HOA? If they don't provide you with the HOA docs you have an out or even if they do and you are withing the window you can always use your HOA "get out of jail free" card to get out saying you do not like the HOA rules. I think you are on the right course as others suggested in consulting a real estate attorney. Good luck!
