Nothing wrong with it in your guidebook as well though for a small page or section!  

Hello everyone,I am from Alexandria, VA located at the border of Washington DC and Prince George County, MD working for a kitchen and bath remodeling company since 2017 known as European Granite Design that also fabricates granite, quartz, marble and quartzite countertops since 2003.I'm experienced Sales and project manager also designs kitchens & bathrooms for remodeling.Using my expertise and connections I want to start working for myself flipping old condos or houses in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia (DMV) area.

This means building a budget that includes setting aside funds for your next investment.

I am under contract for a 3 family home w a very unique set up. 2- 1 bedroom apartments and 3 and 4th duplex which has 5 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom this home is 8 min from Brown University in RI and 10 min from Johnson Wales. (6miles)Do u think its close enough to attract college students especially the duplex? 

Your plumber/GC should/should have definitely know(n). 

The other hurdle is to find a contractor, that is something that you can do as well.

It isn't a big job but I don't want things to go south so I stay in it.Of course I practically live on this forum so I pass along any pertinent info I find as well as answer questions.

Set your boundaries in advance, and if the deal doesn’t meet your criteria, politely bow out.

AirBNB is still a good place to find MTR tenants as well.
