MoCo, PG, DC, Anne Arundel are much more fogiving, and like youve alluded to, Baltimore will eat novices alive. 

If you are staying in the DMV look into PG county in single family detached homes in areas close enough to the University of Maryland. 

This weekend I went to open houses in DC and PG County, MD.

Vacant property might cost us s lot more than even to change laminate throughout this whole little house.

So, this deal looks good to me even with a 25% conventional mortgage at 15-yr fixed rate, 4.25% interest rate.The open house for applicants happened today; over 12+ pre-qualified applicants are scheduled to tour the 2bed/1bath unit in different time slots.

Reading between the lines, you need a KP to lend their balance sheet/credit to the PG docs the banks want.

There will still be a PG with most private lenders regardless.

I'm a newbie looking to jump into REI in PG County.

My husband and I currently operate a real estate team in PA, MD (Baltimore, Howard, MoCo and PG), DC and NoVa.
