What are they seeing that makes them say no.Gang members, Gang Graffiti (vs tagging), shoes hanging from the power lines, a lot rain ruined flower and candle memorials with weathered photo's of those mowed down in street battles?

(End)My clients and I - all investors - use a variety of lenders depending on project size, rates, and terms which is commonplace.

If that doesn’t work, find a realtor who is patient and willing to show you a variety of houses and be upfront with them, you need to see a good handful….I know this is so elementary but I find that if you don’t do this, one crazy inspection report on a property can scare you away from pulling a trigger.

If it's C or lower, I'd be more inclined to try to get rid of it (for a variety of reasons incl. lack of appreciation, and the difficulty of managing a C or lower property from OOS).Real estate investing is challenging enough when the property is down the street...it's 10x+ more challenging when it's an OOS property...and it's 100x more challenging if it's an OOS D property.

Montgomery County is an area of high affluence, a great variety of activities,  tons of different  cuisine  to choose from, and so close to DC and NoVa.
