Will keep on looking.

keep on looking and it will happen.  

Based on looking at property records, looks like the wholesalers purchase the property, then resell to a flipper at a profit.

A $500k property that you buy and lose $1k/year on looks pretty good in 30 years when you sell it for $1M, but that's 30 years from now and along the way it just takes money out of your pocket.The short answer is to look for a better deal.

They had not planned on looking, but they accidentally ran across a great property closer to work.

If they didn't do that, they would starve when winter arrives.The Future is VERY important.Another analogy I like to use is to Drive your Investments like an Investment Vehicle.When you look at past Data such as previous Sales, you are looking at the Rear View Mirror of your Investment Vehicle.When you look at current data, such as the current Rents and Expenses to calculate your Current cashflows or your Cash on Cash Return, you are looking at the side view... watching the action go by as it is occurring.When you look through the Windshield of your Investment Vehicle, you are looking at the road ahead.... seeing the path that it is taking you... and all the obstacles in the way.You are less likely to CRASH your investment vehicle by focusing on looking through your Windshield than remaining fixated on the Rear View Mirror or the Side Windows.If the bridge is out and you fail to see the bright red warning signs..... if your eyes are not looking straight through that windshield........ you will Drive your Investment Vehicle into the abyss down below.So please.....

I'll PM you on looking into meeting up for coffee.

Hello to everyone, This is my first post on BP after being a long time on looker from the sidelines.

I plan on looking for a property in the Maryland, D.C and Northern Virginia area.

Totally with you on looking at projections, where we are in the market cycle and value-add potential.
