Hello -I'm in Falls Church and looking to get started in RE investing ASAP.

I went to the home today and parked across the street at a church.

The house is currently heated by district heating, which the utility is shutting off July 2020 due to cost. 

I'm in a career field where I am likely to have multiple NCR assignments, and have many friends and colleagues there, so I should have some advantages finding quality tenants (possibly myself if I catch another assignment in the area).Budget: I'd prefer to keep it to a no down payment VA loan, which caps me around $680K, but I could put some additional down if i find a particularly good deal.Area: I'm targeting a SFM home  or townhouse in Arlington, Alexandria, or Falls Church (short commute to Pentagon and FT Belvoir), which I can rent easily to upper end military families or local professionals.

It allows for renovations without shutting off the income completely and allows you to be more selective with tenants.

And now that the local government went ballistic and maliciously shut most of Airbnb down by scaring citizens and owners with exorbitant penalties (the dark side of the force is strong), this topic is off the table in this paradise until things change.

It appeared he may have dug to close to the house as the floor now has a small slope in the direction where the digging took place, additionally some separation of the flooring, and a door out of plumb(will shut but wont lock completely).

The face coming off the drawers is usually from slamming it shut.

With the major paper mills shutting down across the state, is added to the economic slump.There are some great properties in LA, but they are all cashflow and little to no appreciation.

Get a call that job is shut down by city for not pulling any permits.
