Hi! Has anyone bought with K Hovanian homes in the DMV area? How has your experience been? Looking at a property in Chantilly with them. Townhomes priced around a million.

Do not buy new construction. It’s like voluntarily deciding to buy TSLA LEAPs.

Oh hell no

A million for a townhouse? In Chantilly? I’m not too familiar with dc area since I only lived there for a year but I recall chantilly being very far from dc.

Idk what townhome would be worth a million when you can get a SFR in Arlington with a strong market

Can anyone elaborate why so vhemently discouraging OP on this?

Becuas the time to complete the new build is completely unpredictable. New build cookie cutter houses use the cheapest workforce possible and cut corners at every possible opportunity.

I went under contract for a new build last year at 2.75% interest rate and I will likely close at a rate that’s 3x what I went under contract for.

We bought new construction in Leesburg two years ago and looked at using them but honestly there are much better builders in the area. K hovnanian base models were very very simple bases and the salesperson was pretty rude to my husband when he was asking about certain upgrades. Our builder doesn’t build in Chantilly but I would definitely at least try and find a local builder to at least to run comparisons on what you’ll get for your $

Yeah I remember when our lot became available we drove to the builder’s office immediately and while we were in there signing a contract they received 6 calls about our lot. It is crazy out here

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

My landlord will not work with me to end the lease early, so it looks like I will have to double up on rent and mortgage through the summer.

If I went on active duty orders, can I use those orders to break my lease early without penalty?

My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out.
