The properties in Laurel, MD (both PG County and Howard County side) are very high compared to the rents and I realized pretty early on that I am going to have to buy at least a moderate reno to be able to purchase at enough of a discount.

I currently live with my parents rent free closer to Columbia/Baltimore, but would like to move closer to the DC area, so Montgomery and PG Counties.

Extremely hard to get a rooming house license in PG.

Although m family was born in Baltimore I have only invested in DC and PG County. 

I think just about all banks will require a PG- Personal guarantor who can support the debt, most will require as everyone said anyone with more then a certain % to be a PG. but that can be negotiated.

Greetings BP'ers!  A recent job transfer triggered my first purchase in the MD suburbs!  I'm buying a two-unit property in Laurel, Prince George's County, living in one unit and renting the other.  Are there any disad...

I've been doing infill lot's in PG county Marland and the process I can tell you differs from county to county but I'll give you an outline of my process 1) It's not unusual to see lot's on the MLS for 100+ days, do not be alarmed there are not too many people operating in the sphere 2) Just like rehabs I typically start by looking at what I can potentially build on the lot and my ARV  ( I know my area pretty well, so I'm only buying lot's in specific zipcodes ) my typical target is 2500sqft above grade with an AVR for $500+ 3) My research starts with my surveyor, I provide him with the address, he comes back to give me thumb-up or down or any potential problems I may face, such as wetland, DDO zone  (Development District Overlay) e.t.c 4) After closing on the lot in my county I need to get NRI ( Natural Resource inventory) this plan provides documentation of the existing conditions on a site / TCP ( Tree Conservation Plan ) exemption, I get an exemption because I'm buying infill lot, this is typically handled by my surveyor and take about 30days 5) Next is my stormwater management: Again I'm getting an exemption because I'm disturbing less than 500sqft of land, handled by my surveyor 6) Once I have the 2 approvals listed above, I'm allowed to submit my building plans for approval, in my county turn around time for approval is about 3-4months Hope this helpsbelow is a link to my last new construction project, got a few more in the pipelinehttps://www.redfin.com/MD/Cheverly/2417-Parkway-20785/home/10547525

Perhaps PG county, Richmond. 

as stated above narrow window of loans that done come with PG's  

but PG is required ..
