This property was in rough shape, so I tackled the essentials: new roof, plumbing fixes, and updating the interior to make it livable again.

I should have mentioned that I am out of state in Colorado and I'm not connected yet to contractors that I trust to do a rehab.

My contractor brought me a house off the market.

All of my flips have been in DFW since that's where I have found a great realtor and contractor to work with.

I’d like more information on the DCSR lenders if anyone has specific recommendations.Also, if anyone needs advice or repairs/ replacement on plumbing feel free to send me a message! 

Real estate agents, property managers, and contractors who specialize in your target market can save you time and money in the long run.

Quote from @Paul Gupta: Hi, in California, For jobs requiring a license, there was CSLB (contractor state licensing board) which would give either a General Contractor license, or specialty licenses by trade (~60 specialties such as concrete, welding tile, ) https://www.cslb.ca.gov/about_us/library/licensing_classific...My Q: does Maryland and DC area have similar requirements? 

I have seen a number of cases locally where a party clearly did something illegal like this whether it be a landlord tenant or someone hiring a contractor.

He has lived here his entire life, and knows the area very well, and he is a general contractor and has been remodeling homes in our area for 20 years.
