Look at the numbers and don't buy properties because they are "cute".  

I had a local property manager send an unlicensed, uninsured vendor in to one of my rental houses to perform some work.  15k worth of damages later,  I was left with essentially no legal recourse other than suing the vendor who was a tiny one woman shop with no ability to pay for the repairs. 

Called the woman and she wanted $55k for the home. 

@Monika Haebich, I am interested and I have a lot of family around the world and though i am just getting started, my partner in crime (GF) do like to travel a Lot, ( her more than me, its expensive but you got to please your woman right?!

I think when I referred him to my school district website and he saw an older woman, the gray hair might have scared him off. 

The woman at the County told us that it wouldn't work and explained how to correct it.  

Good first impression, perhaps longer term tenants, also, I use my wife for the woman's view, because happy wife=happy life.

The woman who owned the chemical distribution company providing the cleansing fluids was a neighbor so we fell into it when she was looking for someone to take over this type of service her company provided.good luck....

Welcome JohannaAs you already probably know, here is plenty of information and good people to connect with Try to read as much as possible and try to attend some of the investor meetings There is a very good one close to you, I believe they meet once a month in the Bethesda Womans Club,  plus there are some others in Tyson's Corner and Downtown DCMy advice to be taken seriously as wholesaler is to understand very well the numbers your investor buyer needs, and present only reasonable opportunities, your ARV has to be realistic using real and relevant comps (close in distance, close in time and close in characteristics) and the spread must be enough for him to pay: interest, rehab costs, realtor commissions, etc and still make a decent profit selling quickly.

I am working with a woman now that will be a perfect flip opportunity if I can negotiate her to 15-20K where another man who has a property in an amenity filled community would be a perfect vacation rental if I can talk this guy down to 40-45K then it could be a flip with some modernization or perfect for a buy and hold with great ROI and cashflow.
