Going it on my own I've gotten scammed by other investors, crooked wholesalers and idiot agents. i'm currently in a 90 rehabbing class at DC REIA, taught by an active rehabber in PG County and agent.

You could even do that closer to home in PG in the right areas and make some good money, whereas in Arlington or Fairfax you probably could not unless you went to a combat zone.  

When I got home I put the property address in my counties property search website, which is pg county in Maryland by the way, and the owners mailing address is the same as the property address, but of course it is not the principle address. 

Just keep in mind that unless you are planning on passing on all utilities to the tenant, water costs are 6-8 times higher in HW or PG counties.

I am looking in the baltimore area or pg county area.
