  Hi Payam, Do you happen to have the new date for November? I am also interested in attending.

I wish I had done this/received this advice, so I second it. I thought I was negotiating well (25K below asking, and 80K below tax assessment), but the prior owner/investor did not keep anything well maintained, and I saw the 25K I was so proud of having "saved" myself quickly disappear in repairs.

Thanks @KIMARD EGLETON, as a person who often likes to take it all in, your advice to take it in pieces/niches is appreciated. I am sure it will help to avoid feeling overwhelmed :) I also appreciate the book recommendation.

Thanks for the welcome @Tracy Mason, I am definitely looking to check out REIA groups. I found one on here for the DC area, and am excited to attend.

Hi! I have a rental in Hampton Roads, and live in Northern Virginia. I am here to learn more about both markets. I jumped in feet first, only knowing I don’t want to still work in an office at 60, and have learned many things the hard way. I have a strong interest in personal finance, but quickly learned that that doesn’t all translate to real estate, and am looking to learn more with like-minded people.
