Most can't get past bullet point #3, which is where theory (all the things you love about 203k in theory) hits reality (reality: listing agents hate dealing with FHA 203k and most will "anti-sell" your offer by telling their sellers to throw your offer in the trash).

There are plenty of folks on the forums who are anti-turnkey, but you also want to evaluate it from several positions:1) You have a W2 job and don't plan to quit it to do full time real estate.2) You have no connections whatsoever in a marketplace that you like.3) You want to avoid the cost and time overhead of linking all the pieces together.Well oiled turnkey operations do make their money up front.

You can find the zoning on www.pgatlas . comThe larger issue is that PG county right now is very anti development..

You cannot deny the family because of the lead paint either, that's considered discrimination (you're refusing them because they have a kid) and is against the anti-discrimination laws of the state.
