I graduated from the University of Minnesota and I currently live in Los Angeles (Mar Vista).

I am moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia for work and to develop my RE investing business. 

I'm looking for an attorney to write partnering contracts for me, with an out of state (Florida) builder.  Ideally the attorney would be based in Fairfax or Loudoun County.Please pass along any recommendations you mig...

I’d contact the title company I worked with and bam by 11 I’d have 60 years of title history...yup West coast have digital title plants.. and the other east coast the records are at court house and an abstractor has to collect them for a fee.. or you have to do it yourself.. keep in mind East coast records are far older than west coast.. we are babys .. most records start with Spanish land grants.. along with section and range descriptions.. with 90% of the searchs done in lot and block.Just like some states people actually survey an SFR before they buy it.. that simply is never done in a subdivision on the west coast if you asked for one realtors and others would look at you like your were from  Mars or maybe Venus

I'm in the same area as you (broadly speaking), and it's good to see how folks are doing this in the DC/MD/NOVA area!

I was wondering if there are any wholesaler meet-ups in the DC/ NOVA area or any other ways I can connect with more people.

At least 5 interior doors have holes, drywall is marred and dented in places, some trim removed and broken, closet doors broken along with broken light fixtures etc. 

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

I'd be interested in anything that helps me figure out how to make buy and hold work in NOVA. 

I am in Nova Scotia for a week in August so I am going to take a drive out to identify the areas I want to invest in.
