And I provide solid returns for my private lenders in the process.

Hey, I’m looking to connect and network with private individuals who lend money on real estate deals.

My goal is to create financial security for retirement.

Security systems are easily outsmarted, that’s the point of the initial visit, to case the joint. 

Security investigated to find the renters still at our house.

They are on a big push to get back in the game though, have you seen their recent ads stressing that they only list private homes?

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

@Bob Asad at our bank, we have an escrow account for security deposits, it is set up with sub-accounts for each tenant with their security deposit amount and their SSN.

Metro could have different rent growth projections, however, this is a great sign to see that the area as a whole is moving in a very positive direction.ConclusionBecause of D.C.’s typical recession resilience from the federal government and the large presence of big-name private sector companies in the area providing stable employment, it is very rare to have the opportunity to buy real estate at a discount.

So a majority of the ownership groups would want to sell, plus since they are more sophisticated owners usually would sell through a broker to get max price and not sell privately.
