Investing in Northern Virginia but Live In Maryland

[Aj Bowman]

Hi Everyone,

I live in Montogomery County Maryland therefore I know this area best and would like to invest in this area. I mostly would like to fix and flip then get into buy and holds in the future. However, I'm am finding out that deals are pretty hard to come by in this area. Therefore I wanted to widen my search for houses in other counties in Maryland and even into Northern Virginia because I fairly familiar with that area as well.

My first question is how is the real estate investing in the Northern Virgina area. I haven't done much research in that area mostly because I haven't been looking in that area. Being that that the drive isn't that far I would really like to touch in that area.

My second question is my realtor is only familiar with Montgomery and Frederick Counties therefor he did not want to expand my search because could not give me advice in areas like Baltimore and PG county and it was not worth it to him to travel that far. But I wanted to keep him because he has helped me out a lot so I just wanted a different realtor to help me in those areas but when I approached a realtor to help he said that I could not be represented two different people. Also I found a house I wanted comps on in Northern Virgina and sent them to my realtor and he said that he did not have access to the MLS in Virgina. So I don't really know what to do about this situation.

My final question is if I have an LLC in Maryland can I use it in Virgina or will I have to get an LLC in Virgina for my flips?

Thanks for the help everyone
