There are BP meetups every other Weds at the Brink on E.

I don't want money they need for a wedding or to send their kid to college.

It also has some good resturaunts and some late night venues.

Wed love to execute the BRRRR strategy.

Account Closed there is value in purchasing your properties with cash and it's okay to say that you're plan is to only purchase with cash, however, at one point you may change your mind once you learn more about leverage.I personally like to purchase as much as possible in cash but at the same time if it makes sense to use leverage I will absolutely do it.You'll learn as you're going that after a few purchases you'll need more cash to continue to purchase these properties so you'll either have to do a few flips or will have to refinance a few properties to get the necessary cash.Take some time, listen to the podcasts here on BP and other venues, continue to read books about real estate investing and the posts from here and you'll be in a good position to make the right decisions for you and your family.  

I work a great IT job but with a wedding coming up and living in the DC area homes are not cheap (you can't buy a home in Arlington right now for less than $600k). 

@Jonathan Berridge, hard money may be your best venue as mentioned by @Jason Carter.I invest in the area, and would be interested in seeing the deal, perhaps we can partner together. 

Once we have found a venue I will post.

That is how landlods get scr*wed.

Sad as they were both great kids until they got into opioids & even had their wedding pics taken on the 5 acre property.
