Can anyone recommend a reputable networking group in the Washington, DC metro area?  

My intent was to use the local reputable contractor (think of the guys sponsoring sports).

They've partnered with BiggerPockets and have built a strong reputation for making self-management seamless, especially for hosts managing a handful of properties like yours.Hospitable is known for its ease of use, automated messaging (a lifesaver for responding to guests!)

To protect your margins, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of costs upfront, consider negotiating long-term prices with suppliers, and prepare for possible delays in renovation schedules.In both scenarios, it’s often safer to focus on markets with strong fundamentals (stable job market, population growth) and properties at or below the median home price in the area to appeal to a broad buyer base.

If you know of a reputable foundation repair company @ $175 - $200 per pier, I would welcome receipt of the company name and contact information.

You can't find much on google, they must have paid someone to manage their reputation.

Have them blown out and truly winterized by a reputable company.

In retrospect, some yellow flags found by the property manager during the tenant screening are now bright red flashing sirens, but the tenant showed decent credit, had a positive previous landlord reference, wrote a charming cover letter in his application, and applied through the referral of a reputable real estate agent.

Not sure of their reputation, any insight or tips for navigating this process at all are apricated.  

Yes, most of the reputable lenders have a min loan amount of 65k - 75k with a minimum of 40k - 50k of that amount going toward the purchase.I've been down this road before with a few investors who want to buy cheaper homes and what I can tell you is that - 1) It's not easy and 2) You WILL NOT like the rates, fees, and points.Think about it, what does a lender stand to make on an interest only loan for about 40k.
