I am seeing a ton of activitiy in PG, AA, Howard, Balt, and southern MD as well. 

I’m going to search PG County tenant laws tomorrow.

I found a 4 bed, 2.5 bath house in PG County, MD that I could house hack.

If your panel is a 150 or 200 amp version and has lots of unused slots for breakers, you've most probably got enough capacity for the new kiln. 

Pulled out an old medicine cabinet that had a slot for used razor blades in the back wall and found something like five pounds of razor blades in the wall.

What I’m realizing is that there isn’t a plethora of multifamily properties in the Northern Va area, the ones in DC are either way too expensive or in SE, and NE and I’m not too familiar with which areas are good to buy, they’re in PG which I’ve heard isn’t really developing all that well and isn’t as good a buy as Montgomery Country, or they’re too far out in Montgomery Country that I worry about finding renters.I’ve got searches on the MLS setup to send me any multis in the DMV so I’m looking but I just want to know of there are any people in the area that can give me some advice.

Cigar Snob - July/August issue pg. 53It was a good read, check it out.

Specifically, I've been browsing opportunities in Fort Washington, MD (in PG county near MGM and national harbor) and Baltimore, MD (brooklyn).

I've put together a spreadsheet of every property currently available on the MLS for PG county along with it's estimated rent (from zillow), taxes (from SDAT), and then the calculated expenses, income, net cash flow, and cap rate.

I was reading The book on Managing Rental Properties by Brandon and Heather Tuner and they stated (pg 181) that a resident manager is required for building of 9+ units in New York.
