@Russell Brazil Can you please lend some expertise on this subject? 

"Ready" is a subjective term, but you can hang out on these forums, meeting agents, lenders, other investors, and anybody else you care to talk with for 1,000 hours.

BTW, I could post many more that are much harder hitting and include people that are not of my same political persuasion who  warn these advocates and politicians to not continue to go down the rent control path as the evidence is overwhelming that they only hurt the very people they claim to help.https://www.forbes.com/sites/brendarichardson/2023/03/23/nat...

If your property in DC becomes owned by an LLC, you will automatically become subject to rent control. 

The properties are so expensive due to the land that if you need a mortgage you’re going to be cashflow negative, and the laws are so anti-landlord that I’m not sure it would be smart to buy here regardless.How are you going about finding your seller financed and subject too opportunities?

Subject to the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event the Tenant is adjudicated as bankrupt, (or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors), this Lease, at the option of the Landlord, shall terminate upon 30 days written notice and the Dwelling Unit shall be surrendered to the Landlord, who reserves the right to repossess the Dwelling Unit subject to the applicable provisions of law.Should I follow the steps on the contract?

Commercial requires the property to be livable (not subject to), usually a 95% to 100% occupancy ratio, DSCR (rents) at 1.25% or higher, PFS, Strong assets, 12-18 months reserves, Fico above 700, I have seen lower but rate will be higher and in most cases cause the DSCR ratio to be under 1.25%.If you own a primary you might be able to use an SBA type program but those are not great.

I called a real estate attorney today based on a Google search, and I got an earful about how Subject To was not possible, the bank would call the loan due, I need to have 'very deep pockets', etc etc etc.I know it's possible and there are people doing these types of deals.

Subject to zoning.Use Cargo Containers. 

With their charm, persuasive abilities, and apparent success, they gained the trust of numerous investors.
