If you just want to build your cash reserves then flipping is the way but just be careful - that too takes a lot of work and research to make sure you don’t lose money.  

If I donated to the aids health foundation expecting it to go to aids care or research, I would be very disappointed with this use of the money. 

I would be very careful, especially not having any sort of licensing and promoting these products on a public forum.  

Makes me think they could be too busy taking care of a new baby to attend to guest issues? 

Because with an HOA in tow that means your not doing it alone, you have active "partners" who will be taking care of a slew of things so think of it like training wheels. 

I think you will need to look at fredericksburg or further away - and most likely a property that needs work.You can find some on the maryland side but be careful with some of the neighborhoods those homes are in.

Still have to be careful though, with the block-by-block challenge, depending on the Class of Neighborhood.Also, be sure you understand the difference between the City of Detroit and the suburbs!

@Anthony Saheed I would advise you to be very careful to recommend people to speculate in volatile real estate markets.

I would just be careful hopping back in now as interest rates and low inventory are making it very difficult if you aren't finding your own off-market options to buy.

Typically, since I'm well connected because of flipping, HVAC, roofers, lawn care, carpenters, kitchen & bath & plumbers and electrical all are good sources.
