To be fair, I did see several duplexes in DC under $500K in SE - Congress Heights, Trinidad and NE (near Bladensburg Road and the MD line).

I would like a "brand" per se, a company that could diversify and purchase/own/form not only LLCs "holding" property, but also other types of non-similar businesses (the sky is the limit!)

In my experience it is not really a percentage or a flat amount per se.

Coast Guard HQ is already under construction and DHS starts soon.This is the largest active construction project in the US per some folks.However, this part of SE DC is thought by many to be the worst place in a city that has its hoods.We were thinking we just got in a little early, but the price was right, we are in all cash at about 65K and the carry is minimal given the potential upside.So we keep working on some final plans and were going to pull demo permits this fall and begin some work in the new year.Here is the kicker!

So - I found a property that I want to own (not an investment per se).

Hello, my name is Jason. I'm new to the REI community. I'm looking for other investors to network with. I'm looking to invest in fast cash opportunities such as fix and flip, or rehab investing. I've lived in the Hous...

I am currently in the process of attempting to close on my first home (tentatively 7/14) in SE Washington, D.C.

I am in the process of repairing my credit but wanted o se add mint to get started.

Proving your SE income will be challenging enough, but if you've been in business a few years and can document tax returns, bank deposits, etc. that show a strong income, that should still work.

The properties are performing, so no reason to sell per se.
