Timing, interesting neighborhood How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Cash flow and transform the neighborhood.

 So @Jerryll Noorden tell meWhat is the search volume to your website.

Quote from @D'Ann Melnick: Saw this was an old question, but it came up in search - this is all part of the rent stabilization laws passed in 2024 - https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/DHCA/Resources/Files/tena...The pet deposit cannot exceed $300 and the total amount of security deposits collected cannot exceed two month's rent.

Quote from @Olivia Armstrong: Hey all, My husband and I have been searching for a property purchase, one that temporary checks our boxes and also kickstarts our investing journey.

I think you will need to look at fredericksburg or further away - and most likely a property that needs work.You can find some on the maryland side but be careful with some of the neighborhoods those homes are in.

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

I have posted my listing routinely to sites such as Facebook, Craigslist, Zillow and Land Search but still have not been able to find a buyer for the lot.

You're better off focusing on specific markets, specific neighborhoods, analyzing numbers, and building an ideal buy [box].

Ideally I wanted to live in Lake View as that's my dream neighborhood, but I just didn't have the funds/income.
