@Brad Patterson I want to give you some food for thought.

Whats up BP, I wanted to simply reach out and introduce myself to all bp members in the Northern VA Market. Through BP, I was able to connect with a great partner, @Amberle Farthing , and we are (wholesaling/listing) ...

I work in the I.T. field were daily, weekly communication is the key to working in a remote environment.

I have interest down to 10% and daily points of $45 per day. 

You might start off by managing your first rental property and then hire a good management company with a minimum of 30 units so you can afford one and will takeover the daily involvement to take care of those emergency calls and new tenant screening.If you have or can get YouTube, watch a man named Grant Cardone who has many videos on there and believes in buying apartments. 

The standard has always been 10%-If you placed a bid previously, you would receive the generic counter by email almost daily.

food all free was off the charts good.people have all sorts of amenities who work there you would never have to buy food  at least during the week breakfast lunch dinner snacks.. its also like a nice resort and spa... what a place.

It's getting tougher with compressing cap rates, but I'm staying optimistic and looking daily.

TO ALL BP Investors: this is the mindset we in the mortgage business deal with on a daily basis.Realtors reading the above comments are rolling their eyes, laughing or shaking their heads.PLEASE, will the "educated" Realtors on BP please enlighten and send him a PM on this specific topic before he embarrasses himself anymore.

Amongst friends and living in a community with more personal space, diverse economy, access to travel (roads / airports) and strong local culture (food / entertainment / socialization).
