Here's why...Toilets are held down by two little bolts that are in slotted holes.

A million dollars thrown into real estate without a proper plan holds the same level of risk as throwing that money at a slot machine in vegas.

The numbers do look better in PG County vs. other areas around DC.  

@Jay HinrichsThere's a couple of different answers to your question about the 10 loan max.Based on strictly looking at the number, and assuming I want to continue to add more than 10 properties:1a - I just use partners that have the credit I need...and the open loan slots available.1b - I also can sell off a % of my ownership.  

I think there is a lot of opportunity in PG county. 

@ Travis Lloyd thanks I think that may be the case, the 3 pg contract and how do I get around that? 

I bring my own 1 pg contract and then I put no contingencies.

Real Estate or preferrably a bussiness w/RE in the Washington Metro area, PG Co, Montg Co, Washington Co, Allegeny Co and Baltimore Co Md, along with Northern Va

By doing this, you will open up 1-2 slots available for Fannie Mae purchases going forward.

You could do a VA in Bremerton and an FHA in DC.HUD 4000.1 pg 133 (ii,7,a), specifically states that a military member in your case would qualify for a FHA loan back in Washington, DC with your soon to be spouse (congrats btw!).
