Greetings from Rockville

[Ilya Z.]

Hello Everyone!

Ilya from Rockville here. Have lived in the area since mid-90s. My wife and I had invested in a couple of rental condos in the county about 10 years ago. I would say it was a good move overall: the properties have not appreciated as much over the years as in other parts of the county, but at least have been cash-flow-positive.

Now we're trying to see if we can do it again. If nothing else, it should help us pay for 2 kids who'll in college at the same time in a couple of years. :-)

Even with the past experience, we would consider ourselves relative newbies. Especially because this time around we're considering both rentals and flips and the latter is definitely a very different beast altogether. So looking to learn from this forum and make connections.

Cheers!
