@Joseph Pass Lusby and the areas north of it like White Sands and to some extent St. Leonard are commutable to DC.  I have friends and clients that commute from there to Andrews AFB, DC, and Ft. Meade.  It is an area that has the benefit of living in Calvert while being affordable in price when compared to Northern Calvert or Southern Anne Arundel and it is not PG County.  With that being said, soon one of the reasons to Live in Calvert - lower property and income taxes than the surrounding counties is going to change somewhat.  The Calvert County Board of Commissioners have proposed an income tax increase from 2.8% to 3% and a property tax rate proposal would increase the rate from .892 to .952 per one hundred dollars of assessed value.  If approved, the real property tax increase would take effect July 1, 2016, the income tax increase will take effect Jan. 1, 2017.

Will this deter people from living there?  I highly doubt it, but it is something to think about.  Southern Calvert is a target rich environment from an investors perspective.

Hi, @Joemade Scott Carter. @Amber Butler said a very valid thing seek s hard money lender. I have had to go the exact same route. I would recommend trying to find a local lender  that can be found through  trusted local mortgage brokers. if you have any specific questions feel free to send me a message and I'll try to find answers for you if I don't already have answers for you.

Welcome, Nadina.  Look through the pages here on BP for a lot of great information, find a local agent that is willing to work with you and when you have time look into SOMDREIG. They are a great group of people with tremendous local knowledge and potential opportunities for finding properties.

Welcome to BP, Elizabeth. Also look into your local REIA for networking, learning, and possibly finding properties.
