I like Fairmount, Brewerytown, Fishtown, Logan Square and that whole stretch of Philly

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

Will it be more beneficial as a short term rental since it's somewhat close to Washington, DC?

Any savvy RE-friendly Lenders in my area (Eastern Washington)?

The first house I bought was a 1,500 square foot house with fenced in yard on corner lot.

Maybe it'll be better here:I'm a broker in Oregon and Washington, and I'm trying to wrap my head around wholesaling.

@Matt Taylor Run this deal with a local to Washington Market.Don't be scared, just make sure you are are not coming out of pocket more than you can handle.

But a good place to start is by figuring out what a rough price per square foot cost would be in your area for a unit turn, cosmetic, and full gut renovation.Here in Chicago unit turn might run $15-25/SF, Cosemtic $45-65. and full renovation $90-$110 of interior renovations only.Hopefully this at least steers you in the right direction.

So they said they were going to build that for $100 a square foot finished?

This is a big project that will exceed 45,000 retail square feet and it will help improve the area and create jobs.
