My units have washer dryer hookups but only one offstreet parking space (so no covered parking or garages), no central AC, no private outdoor space like patio or yard.4) I know some PMs tell prospects very high prices to entice the prospects to sign with them but having several companies all tell you the same thing is a bit unlikely.

DC is a very competitive market, however the financial rewards that come with owning in DC are very very enticing. 

If you are looking to entice him into working with you then may be it works.I prefer to ONLY work with folks that have money in the game.I find the property, sell it, pay for all costs except labor and materials.

I have done my own research into this and seems that by being creative with the mail campaign (i.e. invitation style envelopes, dropping in a mint/candy, etc.) really helps entice the recipient to open the mailer, which is the hardest part I believe!

We have a steady flow of Californians moving up to raise our home prices.I was thinking of establishing a relationship and partnering with someone in markets with better cash flow, and Ohio has actually come up suite a bit, as well as Indianapolis, Memphis, Pittsburgh and Kansas City areas.As a game plan I think it would be great to do flips close to home, then buy and hold in better cash flow markets (once I'm comfortable flipping of course, probably after I find  a local experienced contractor).But this multi family approach seems enticing too, maybe can get better cash flow as compared to SFR.
