Our sincerest condolences to all of those impacted, we have dozens of friends and colleagues that have directly or indirectly lost everything and several have evacuated for reprieve to our communities both north and south of the border. 

Also, to track spending habits - just had a prospect withdraw their application when we asked why they were spending half their income on gambling websites.

Hello everyone,I am from Alexandria, VA located at the border of Washington DC and Prince George County, MD working for a kitchen and bath remodeling company since 2017 known as European Granite Design that also fabricates granite, quartz, marble and quartzite countertops since 2003.I'm experienced Sales and project manager also designs kitchens & bathrooms for remodeling.Using my expertise and connections I want to start working for myself flipping old condos or houses in the Washington DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia (DMV) area.

I agree that is will be a gamble as to how well it will do.Also, ask the owner if they will entertain partial owner financing to keep from dragging family and friends into this risky business venture.Maybe even rent from owner for a year with right to sublease to see how it goes before committing to a purchase.

The gamble is that the outcome hinges upon the courts discretion and it’s rare to see specific performance unless buyer can demonstrate that monetary damages aren’t enough to make them whole.

They gambled, and lost.

Would we see increased cross-border transactions and a surge in property investment opportunities?

(e.g. peace w/ Israel, gambling legalization, etc.)

If mortgage rate were < 3.5%, then there is no need for recasting...but 5.25 seems like a border line.

@LaTonya Clark “One  can’t tell but I do know part of me is willing to take a chance”…You make it sound as if real estate investing is no different than gambling….
