I'm interested in DMV (District, Mayland, Virginia) properties. I was initially looking for Arlington and Fairfax counties, but figured out it would not have a positive cash-flow. What are few recommendations(zipcode) in this area; for someone who is starting out and looking for the 1st deal to generate passive income( buy and hold).

 Thanks.

Hello All - 

My name is a Nilesh Makhija, residing in Chantilly, VA (suburb of DC). Currently a a technology consultant, looking to generate positive cash-flow from real estate . I found biggerpockets online couple of weeks ago and since then I am totally addicted to it.

A short background about myself: I am an investor who is interested in buy and sell kind of investing and I believe I do understand the basics. But now the problem is when I start looking for a deal(from last 3 months) I do not feel confident and I always find some reason to back out(numbers do not make sense, neighborhood, high vacancy rates). 

What I am looking for (if someone can help me) a mentor who can guide through the nuances of buy and sell real estate investing or any local meet-ups where I can meet fellow minded people.

My goal is to be confident when analyzing the deals and also generate a passive income.

Thanks!!
