Have also done work in DC and Maryland and would say Virginia has significant benefits over DC and Maryland because it is more business friendly and jurisdictions are willing to work with not against developers on projects I mentioned as well as you mentioned With the federal government and government contractors not going away - area is great for investment.

@Lauren CartmellWhen selling a tenant-occupied property, it’s best to work with an investor-friendly realtor who specializes in investment properties and has access to income-producing buyers.

In a tenant friendly state you have to.BTW, when you list, there's a fair housing law. you cannot deny a sec 8 if they qualify. your standards need to be the same for everyone

I have a friend that is in my GB pod who is a patent attorney but loves real estate - he's constantly wanting to leave his gig and go into real estate.

I recommend reaching out to BP support for assistance.Additionally, it might be a good idea to connect with investor-friendly agents during your search.

I struggle with that myself.Insurance broker - I can introduce you to a couple of great agents, but they are not on Bigger Pockets, so I cannot tag them.

I also have some interested friends if the work requires multiple people.

Maybe you are talking about building more townhome style, which, I have a builder friend that just built a four townhomes and are selling fine, as well.  

I went to sign up on the advice of a friend and realized I had signed up 11 years ago and never used the site.

One friend of mine had a client who recently tried running an Airbnb in a little Craftsman duplex near North Park.
