You’re paying big money to target people who explicitly want to hold on to their homes, all in the hope of convincing them to sell.

Now there is a whole array of ways this could be done, I'm not gonna run down that rabbit hold but fact is doing it all 100% on your capital alone is the hardest longest road.

Those willing to go beyond that could be good partners for real estate investors.Traditional banks/Local Banks and non-bank lenders - If they are a portfolio lender, meaning they actually hold on to the loan and don't just collect your payment, then they have the ability to be flexible.

I'd say to just go for the first one that makes sense and don't hold out looking for the unicorn of a deal.

If a problem arises with the property, the City will attempt to contact the owner and hold them accountable.

This is primarily why I plan to get a property in Old Town Alexandria whenever I can (THE HOMES HERE ARE EXPENSIVE) currently I do airbnb arbritage here and it does phenomenal, I read through your report which furthered my confidence in this area, and I'm excited to keep holding onto property here.

The land assessment value is on the tax assessor's site in every county, but that doesn't hold a ton of relevance in my opinion.
