Stay away from Prince George's county MD..

@Diana Muresan ha, yes, very new.

I’d like to stick near my area and maybe stretch it as far as prince Frederick.

Other than getting suckered in with a Nigerian Prince (or variants) scam, is this a common occurrence or did I just lucky/unlucky?

@John Thedford  Nope  why do you think the Nigerian prince scam is so prevelant.

simple criminal intent and activity.. real estate is now the new Nigerian prince scam .... in everything from fake landlords to fake lenders.and facebook is horrid I would never ever in a thousand years do business on facebook ( in the real estate space) simply would not trust anyone who posted on facebook.. to me its bush league at best and at worst is full of criminals looking to scam people.

Last year, I did read that Prince George's County was one of the most profitable areas to flip homes out of the entire country, but I wasn't sure exactly where, since it is such a huge county.

Hi Diana,Not sure if you've read all the posts above.

@Jim Cichello, you will be kissing a lot of frogs to find your 'prince'--the broker that folds under negotiating pressure from you won't hold up too well with other brokers.So just go to a 'flat-fee' brokerage, get it listed, and do it basically yourself. 

Property was sourced off-market at a closing prince $200,000 under market value allowing client to cash flow day 1 as well as have equity immediately.
