I own an investment property in PG and 2 in Calvert.  

(see last paragraph pg 21 of the Ultimate Beginners Guide)Although I've been involved in the construction / remodeling (as a sub-contractor, mostly) side of Real Estate for 30+ years, there are a lot of things I'll need to learn.

Do you have any references for licensed and reliable contractors for the DC, PG area?

PG is 0.75%.

Greetings, I am Vaughn Johnson from PG county, Maryland.

Any recommendations for a good property manager in PG County, MD?

My parents bought our house in PG the early 90's for $60k...just a tad higher than that now ;).  

If it doesn't happen at least you gained experience and hand the money pit back without draining your time and capital resources.If a seller sells you  a bill of goods with a PG then they will stick it to you.

So... here's a deal I haven't come across before.Rent: $1500/mo, tenant in 3-year lease, seller will PG 1 year of rent at that rate (market rent is closer to $1200-1250/mo).Sales Price: $165-170KHOA: $210/moTax Rate: 1.13%Is a PG on the rent something that should entice me?

I went through the dual action foreclosure process got a judgment against their LLC and sometimes personally if I had a PG... but try to collect it is another matter.As was mentioned they are good for 10 years and can be renewed by just refilling. and there are many people that learn this the hard way that have let judgments be taken against themselves moved and forgot about them...
