Now a spouse has a few freed slots.

The minimum you should have in this slot is $150.  

There's a reason slot of the houses are that cheap, there's not much growth there.

But if you look hard enough you get a surprise like PG county police have maps with lots of filters and tools (maps at bottom of page @ pgc.gov/crimemaps )I think quite a few area police departments have twitter and facebook feeds.

PG County and DC are the 2 locations in the metro area where the most flipping occurs. 

I don't think I'll find them in Montgomery county for example, and at first glance PG doesn't seem better than the neighborhoods in Baltimore I'd invest in.

I have found a 16 space RV park with 20 mobile home slots, a live in 3br/2ba home, 10 bedroom hotel w/ laundry facility and last but not least it comes with 20 canoe and kayaks for guest rental.  

Suggest you only use your FHA mortgage slot to buy a 4 plex at your age in that location its about doors.

Note:  Prefer to have these contacts in the Charles County area but willing to go to PG or Baltimore County.

If a property appears vacant i will try to look in the front window, or even the mail slot.
