Buyer go to open house directly.We have this option in Minnesota now, and it looks like in 10 other states that I am aware of (California, Texas, Florida, Virginia, mostly the big population states).

@Roger CreekmoreMini splits sound like the best option from the cheap seats. 

A lot of training actually.

You can actually still find deals where I live in the (very) low 5 figures, and in some cases, still in the mid 4 figures.

I actually bought a flip. 

I work with investors out of the country and have a few contacts I can connect with you on funding options. 

City proper has been on 5 year bear market completely unrelated to anything political, the suburbs have been adding inventory since the summer but are still very low but any measure and have actually gotten tighter the last few month, while I am open to the idea these cuts could eventually have some effect on the market, about 20% of the dc area is federal employees, let’s say the federal government cut the work force 25% which would be huge, that’s 5% of the population, but a good number of those people are either two income households where one person works in the private and/or the person being laid can go get a similar job in the provide sector l, the percentage of households who would be forced to sell thier house over this is likely in very low single digits.

(eg, if your lot is not the standard 25 x 125, but some other multiple where the width is actually skinnier than 25, and the lenghth is longer than 125, and you want to reduce side setback requirements, eg.) 

The other option is PriceLabs. 

If you ever need guidance on financing options for flips, rentals, or new construction, I’d be happy to help.
