@Kelly Claiborne I'm still in College full time, I'm afraid of it affecting my financial aid and I have a overall fear of making that leap and something goes wrong with a tenant.

I want the company/companies that deliver my money to be healthy and long-lasting, not go out of business because all of its customers robbed it of a few pennies enough so the entire enterprise fails. 

If you're keen on identifying a profitable neighborhood to invest in, let's connect and discuss how I can aid you!

Your agent will be the most important piece of the puzzle and having conversations with a few will aid you in your research on what neighborhoods to focus on.

Capital REI meets in Fairfax City, in the Mason Enterprise Center.  

There are definitely rewards for Realtors who strictly aid others like a coach, remember "good" Realtors can still produce a "good" deal for you... that's called an ASSET.

But as a smart investor, you will want to know if the seller has previously listed the property at either a high or lower price to aid in your negotiations.

==============Depending on what kind of non profit...There are few lenders in that area.Churches get underwritten based on giving units...not profits...and the number of families in a church...and the concentration of the donations by the largest 10% of donors//givers....Risk Magazine just rewrote the guidelines for churches.....and how to underwrite those loans.Non profit schools and hospitals (Charter schools)  get treated differently again....and there are two lenders that will raise money for those based on a private small bond offering...but more expensive than a straight bank loan.Hospitals and  assisted living facilities are treated differently again ....So some more info on the type of NON PROFIT info would help us assist you better....Please find a bank that understands those...as your average banker only understands DSCR and commercial finance is most comfortable with a profit driven enterprise....Non profits get underwritten differentlyI  just completed the loan process for our church for $1.5 million for the land to be followed by a $7 mill construction that I shopped to 3 credit unions and 2 commercial banks...

Why turn to happy hour and use other vices as band-aids but rather share them with others so advice can be given and a weight can be lifted from your chest.My stories range from trying to appease all 8 heirs to a probate acquisition... to showing up in the early morning to a Buckhead rehab with the back door kicked in and all tools stolen... to having no contractors show up for a week due to a myriad of excuses... to finding a lien on the property due to a previous owner... to the joys of dealing with historic district supposed guidelines... to listing a property in 2016 and finding out 80% of the "cash offers" are from wholesalers and digging to figure out who is a real cash buyer.At the same time, the highs of listing and receiving a dozen cash offers within the first 48 hours is a rush that is hard to compare.
