[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP there are a few things you can do you up your economic profile without switching careers.

First, buy a condo. You can afford one if you can afford 1700/month in rent. Get on the property ladder. At $90K, you actually qualify for middle-income assisted home buying programs through the DC government. Check out this posting, it runs down your options: https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/first-timer_primer_a_rundown_of_dcs_home_buyer_assistance_programs/7974

You can use NACA or CityFirst to get yourself into a solid apartment and build a financial future for yourself. That will be attractive to women. I'd actually recommend buying a 2BR and renting out the second bedroom. The tax benefits are massive, you can either do a full time roommate or AirBnB. Plus, owning a home means that a woman can one day move in with you.

Second, get a side-hustle. Be a bartender, start an online freelance gig (copy writing, editing, test prep, tutoring, whatever), or start a small biz. It doesn't have to pay a ton, but extra cash is extra cash. A good first year goal is to earn enough to full fund your 401K ($18K pre-tax).

Both of these are attainable by this time next year. Good luck![/quote]
I don't know, condos can be difficult to offload and I would be way more open to dating a 35 year old man who rents than one who has a roommate in a condo... I don't think a roommate would be a good look at all.[/quote]

Really?  I think home ownership would make OP appear more financially secure and stable and getting a roommate to help pay down the mortgage would make OP appear smart.  But then again, I'm almost 40 so maybe that's dated thinking.[/quote]
I'm 40 as well so I don't think it's that. I prize privacy and independence, and a 35 year old with a roommate would be a tough sell. I also don't see the lack of ownership as a negative, I don't think it's right for every circumstance and as a single man who isn't looking to have children I wouldn't really expect him to own.[/quote]

I guess I look at it as a tenant/landlord situation, not a roommate.  In any case, OP is nowhere near there, so we've digressed! [/quote]
True, we have! :-)[/quote]
