If you're a new investor with limited funds, you're best bet is to find the lower price point counties in the DC area and focus there- Prince George's County, Waldorf, Anne Arundel, Montgomery (certain areas), Baltimore, etc (really most of Southern MD is pretty decent)Trying to go into the District itself as a new investor can certainly be done, but a) prices are going to be higher than surrounding areas so for the same amount of money to spend you're going to do less houses, and b) it's harder to comp properties- DC property values can often vary block by block, proximity to metro station matters, finishes matter, whether or not they've 'dug out' the basement to increase ceiling height matters, the exterior style of property- federal, victorian, etc matters.

I don't think grandpa wants you to use his home AND give him a job to do haha.I agree with @George Makakaufaki that Zillow can be wildly inaccurate.

Hi George,I imagine someone has to come up with cash in the deal to make the purchase, correct?

@george, we were talking about ARV because that is how she was approaching the transaction from the start.
