Thanks in advance,Rookie You’re going to struggle to find cash flow anywhere in the dmv, you would really be buying for appreciation only, both for ease and some upside, I’d look at some condos in dc, definitely some risk, but you can pick up a condo at a price you would have paid a decade ago.

My brokerage is part of Anywhere RE, we have the biggest names under our umbrella (ERA, Caldwell Banker, Sotherbys, BHG, Century 21) and we have a fantastic referral program that I can hand pick an agent anywhere in the country and interview them for you to make sure they have the qualities you are looking for.

But it seemed to me that their simple system would be easy to apply to the general REI market and make it work well.I took my time and went through the course over the full four weeks that they allowed me. 

I would love to chat with you about this idea we can pick each others brains a bit.
