4) What you are offering?

.: Well, what do you think about people that make a slightly educational post then have one of their VA’s on a different Bigger pocket account ask a question about the services that the OP provides and the OP makes a layout of the services they offer?

Offer to pay them off in 5-10 years at a higher interest rate.

While podcasts, books, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll buy a specific property in a specific location, subject to local rules and regulations.

With the new commission rules you can stay flexible with an offer of buyer agent commission, rather than having to commit to a certain percentage going to the buyer agent upfront. 

Areas in PG County Maryland or West Virginia, for example, might offer better opportunities for cash flow with a smaller down payment.That said, if you’re willing to hold long-term, Northern VA can be a fantastic place to invest.

Not having a payment gives you patience to select good tenants and opportunity during the tough times when others are freaking out from vacancy and racing to offer better incentives to put a body in their place.

The offer seems great numbers wise, possibly even without the 3rd unit.

Low down payment (3.5%) is attractive, but comes with mortgage insurance and might not offer the best rates.

I actually work with a great team in LR that offers turnkey and new construction.
