The issue you run into there is that off-market tends to be synonymous with unlendable from the perspective of a bank who wants a safe investment.

The terms get used synonymously but are not the same.

I've been looking to get a first primary residence near DC to stay close to family on the Eastern Shore and own my first place + have a good investment (I just want to wake up in a house and know it is mine...like that feeling of being an owner & knowing tenants are helping pay down the investment).I want to live in one unit and rent the other units out (to cover the payment), though I could cover the payment at any time for a couple of years.I've heard good things about Herndon (I saw it is close to Dulles Airport which is good since that isn't going to go away), but those prices are a bit expensive and worry me especially with everyone synonymously agreeing that real estate prices are at all-time highs and inventory at all-time lows.

These are synonymous, correct?

denizens of field and forest"synonyms: inhabitant, resident, townsman, townswoman, native, local;(see above for official definition of the word denizens, which I think is a pretty cool word)My name is Dallas, I'm a resident of Dallas, Texas.

An attorney MUST be involved in some critical aspects of the process (which I think is a little crazy... but I don't make the laws there).For instance, according to their logic, if you create your own deed, they've determined that this is synonymous with "practicing law", which you can only do if you're an attorney.I believe some states require that the ENTIRE process be handled by an attorney, and some states only require that certain aspects be handled by an attorney (as long as an attorney creates the deed, you can do everything else).I actually spent a ton of time back in 2016 trying to figure out which states require what, and based on what I could find (with hundreds of phone conversations with attorneys and title companies), I came up with the map I outlined in this blog post: https://retipster.com/real-estate-closing-agents - essentially, the states that are dark blue are the most restrictive in terms of who can conduct closings (and as it seems, the further west you go, the easier it is to close deals yourself).

Just don't make the mistake of thinking that repair cost are synonymous with capital expenditures when calculating your numbers. 

DEAD EQUITY isn't synonymous with investing...As an investor, you have to have that courage to deploy capital (of course, wisely and in strong markets and asset classes)I'm sure Shan can do this just fine...

Risk is just a synonym for opportunity now days for me.

I use Microsoft Word/Synonyms when I am looking for alternative wording.
