Personally I respect business people that achieve extraordinary business success.

Tonight's speaker is The Note Queen, Dawn is a very respected investor in the note business and this is a topic I personally enjoy.See you there for the meeting, we usually hit up the bar after for drinks and further discussions.

Talked about this with my attorney who is very well respected in this area and has been in real estate law for decades.

I'll stop typing out of respect for the OP.

Respectfully, I don't understand the logic of resisting a $500 homeowner's policy to cover an $80,000 home.

I respect your decisions and I think your outcomes are almost 3 fold. 1.

In addition, the county is VERY large, and what you'll see in the south/east portions of the county (Rockville and areas near DC) is going to be a good bit different than what you'll see in the north/west parts of the county (Gaithersburg and areas closer to Frederick).Btw, I lived in MC for a long time back in the 90s (Gaithersburg/Germantown) and love the area for buy and hold real estate, but I'm not convinced that the market is going to appreciate above national trends over the next several years.I respectfully have to disagree with you, @jscott. 7 out of the top 10 high schools are located in Montgomery county including the overall #1 (Which has been for awhile) Walt Whitman.http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/...While I can't speak specifically to areas much outside the southern part of the county, which is where my specialty is (Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Kensington, etc,) that specific sub market I would argue is quite strong.

Mature and stable enough to respect your property and pay solid rents.I would be happy to share advice anytime.

I am a DIY'er thru and thru, but totally respect and see a need for professional contractor services as well in many instances.

My hesitation: If I tell the agent I am not interested they may move out/not respect the home as much.
