Then I get out and walk/drive around.  

. ;-) I've bought a couple of probates but I found them driving for dollars (unkempt properties) and then tracked down the status. 

Metro’s technology sector being the 8th largest pool of tech talent in the world and the 3rd largest pool of tech talent in the United States (Source) should continue to drive median household incomes as these highly skilled employees in the D.C. metro are become more and more essential to the 15,000 tech companies in the D.C.

Stay away from Philly as their laws are as tricky as NYC's.I would strongly recommend you purchase something within an hours drive from you so you can learn on the job as a landlord.

Right now, I’m focused on breaking into multifamily properties and building connections with investors who share the same drive.

I also have this same question about a Multifamily deal we have where we will need to purchase land before approvals.. you’d think being in this as deep as we are we’d know this answer but, it’s actually proven to be a pretty difficult thing for me to come across even with speaking to several people in the industry.. my own mother is 32 year lender.

That drive is what sets apart winners in this game. 

I have no clue on the deals and the deep dive into these is above my pay grade.. but I can say that deals that subscribe in an hour or so .. then little to no due diligence is done  at least deep due diligence .. and its the herd mentality.and I can only harken back to Realty shares heydays with Nav Athwal.. 

So, the total base move-in costs would be $2500, all paid prior to lease signing.Since choosing a place to live is a very personal decision, please feel free to do a “drive by” of the property, located at 123 Main St., so you can get a feel for the neighborhood.
