and get a PG / business then the deal seems much more ideal.

If you were to take 1 or more of your existing portfolio and move it to a Sub S and then refinance it with a portfolio lender, you then have opened up the slots of available loans that you can do through Fannie Mae financing.

I own an investment property in PG and 2 in Calvert.  

@Shamus Quirk  many benefits to this you get an owner occ loan and rates compared to non owner occ.you get multiple doors for one of your 4 loan slots instead of buying a SFR.and well I am not all that sophisticated when it comes to fine tuning a P and L..

(see last paragraph pg 21 of the Ultimate Beginners Guide)Although I've been involved in the construction / remodeling (as a sub-contractor, mostly) side of Real Estate for 30+ years, there are a lot of things I'll need to learn.

Then, of course you don't have to wait to get on an agent's schedule to see the property (still just need listing agent's approval of the time slot).I think it's a good idea, in addition to the above, because it keeps you in the RE business.  

Do you have any references for licensed and reliable contractors for the DC, PG area?

The Antelope Valley was my home for a couple years back in the 90's. Lots
