Lots of areas been improving in SE DC for the last few years.

I dont know when it happens per se, but its pretty obvious when it happens. 

Many areas in SE DC still have high levels of property and violent crime, although it has been going down over the past few years according to DC Crime Cards.

My initial thought was that it would be hard for you to find something at that price point that was not in SE and you might have trouble finding something suitable in SE. 

If you run your flips via just LLC, you will pay that SE tax, if you run via LLC taxed as S-corp, you will avoid that.

Quote from @Jim Rice: Would like to connect with Mortgage Note Investors/Buyers/Sellers of "Paper" (1st/2nd/PL/NPL) in SE USA (primarily AL/MS/GA/TN & Panhandle of FL).

Looking at this past week's CMI, it's interesting to see the buyer/seller positioning in the SE-ish area compared to the NW-ish area with rates high 6's in JanuaryStill bullish on W/NW future demand due to TSMC factory and other companies (dashboard snapshot below) but time will tell.

I know SE is going transition even though I am not sure if it is the same kind of transition as Baltimore or not.

I wasn’t sure how that would all work considering I wasn’t taking on debt per se, but there is indeed a promise to make payments on the mortgage.

Landlord had to move to a different state to have better access to healthcare, i.e. did not move by choice per se.
