I'm currently in Upper Marlboro. There is opportunity here from what I can see. I drive around and notice the properties that need help.

Kalimah Jenkins Very good points. I just need to continue my due diligence and protect myself. I appreciate the advice. Sloane Rowan Thanks for breaking the legal side down for me. When you put it that way, it all makes sense.

I've come across a deal on the MLS for a multi-family quadplex with 4 1bd 1ba units. The seller is an older lady and manages the property herself. Apparently, she's getting to the point where she is losing interest and wants to dump the property for 60% of the property value. I'm not 100% sure why. I asked the realtors if they could give me information on why she wants to sell and if she's motivated to do so. They say based on law, they cannot do so. I don't know this to be true but I could be wrong. If this is true, Am I out of line for looking up the owners information and calling her myself? I just want to get the facts. Thanks in advance for your help. JB JB

Which kind of marketing has given you the most success thus far? Mailers, Craigslist, etc?

That is amazing. You are meeting that goal fast sir!

Hows it going everyone. I've heard plenty of great things about BP and finally decided to take the plunge. I've owned 1 property(condo) for 10+ years. Recently, I made the decision to really dive in and increase my real estate education. I'm very interested in general investing, multi-family, and wholesaling. I would also like to attend local meet-up's and link up with realtors and investors along the way. 

I'm coming in with an open mind and a closed mouth. I have a lot to learn and look forward to the veteran information on this site. I believe the DMV has plenty of opportunity and would appreciate it if someone that has experience in the DMV area or just overall experience in real estate investing as a whole could chime in and help me with what I don't know. I know I must conduct my own due diligence but I'm never too good to ask for help. I look forward to the new relationships and overall experience. Thanks!
