Network with other RE investors in your region but take everything with a grain of salt.

My goal is to network and share best practices with like-minded people who are investing and property managing smaller properties in the DMV region.

@Joe Gore It's a regional bank in MD, PA, and DE called Susquehanna.

One thing I noticed was that my listing is under "marmls" rather than the local, regional mls of "beaches mls".

The meetings will be held at:Sherwood Regional Library2501 Sherwood Hall Ln, Alexandria, VA 22306If you are interested in attending please contact me at [email protected] or 703-927-2584.

And most MLSes are local/regional, so you will have to check with the appropriate MLS.

I always include the disclaimer that the monthly speakers are gurus looking to sell you something, but the pre-speaker networking is well worth the time.There are often smaller networking groups specific to different regions of the state as well.

There will also be differences specific to Québec due to the differences in law (Napoleonic vs Common) and the land system in that province.The good news is there are several other Canadian investors on the site - a few from the MTL region - available to answer any questions you have.

Even if you have a decent background in construction, a good inspector can advise you of age and region specific issues you may need to keep an eye on.An inspector could also help you avoid a catastrophe.Good luck.

Totally true.You're in a great region for buy and holds.
