Or there are properties with reasonable views but don’t have a pool.

I view the NOVA market as one of the most stable and safest markets in the US. 

Generally speaking, it has and most of us on BP have a pretty negative view of most gurus.

Start with the view from 30,000 feet up.

Also ensure that the home is in the same condition as when you viewed it and put that as a condition of releasing escrow. 

What I also enjoy is when people put out articles with contradicting view points and in six months or a year point to the - "see how correct i was", well yeah you placed bets on both red, black and green so you were going to be correct because you bet on all options.

Matterport, in my opinion, is a step above traditional video tours because it allows people to tour the property and view the measurements of each room. 

These are rough numbers, 30 inquiries results in 5 to 8 property views, that results in 1 to 3 applications received.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $20,000 I know the numbers are not great from any point of view but this was my first deal.

The only reason to get your license in your context would be to get access to view vacant investment properties for yourself on your own schedule and for access to the MLS.
