investor - not the crazy type to PG loans and such, just slow and steady, and i work with some other investors on different projects in construction and websites.i consider myself more of an entrepreneur, then just a real estate "investor".and i'm also getting my real estate sales license.

Try and get them to docusign/authentisign or notarize or produce a POF or know how to do an after inspection request (vs e-mailing the whole 52 pg report)  or complete a disclosure or what have you is a pain. 99% of solo buyers on the street suck and your seller and LA will know that. 

Looks like you will be spending 30k - 40k out of pocket anyways, which, combined with some private money, might be enough to do a good old fashioned BRRRR in PG county and generate better returns.

I could have spent months or years researching migration trends, the economy of PG, historic vacancy rates, blah, blah, blah.
