My first property, I worked with someone who had no kids, no debt, and a good amount of savings and was tired of the <1% return in the bank.

I'm tired of looking at my computer all day as well so I know the feeling.

I have been reading and listening to podcasts about real estate investing for the better part of the last two years and can see clearly why so many people use this as a vehicle to achieve financial freedom.

I’m also on the hunt for other investment properties or other investment vehicles that make sense and dollars.

I've used personal and retirement vehicles to purchase investments.At the end of the day...you need to be comfortable with your strategy.

They are usually only for traffic enforcement or vehicle accident type activities not responding to criminal activity.

Also along with this, the costs of selling are high, so it is not a investment vehicle that lends itself to repositioning quickly or frequently.

Owner's daughter was going to rehab this, but after putting in new boiler, new gas line, cover original hardwood floor with cheap blue carpet, and hodge podge kitchen (with 3 different cabinets), she got tired and wants to get out.

Some neighborhoods you can stand on a street and look both ways and see 3 or 4 houses under construction (infill developments) and most are already pre-sold before they finish completion.Now, obviously the OP and you were discussing areas up a little further in the county, and as you mentioned they are quite different than the areas I am talking about, but I think the biggest difference comes from people tired of the commute into DC from areas further out.
