., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

My family has been active in the Las Vegas real estate market since 1989 working mainly in single family rentals. 

We have a single flat fee of $1,500 for all of our fees, including the appraisal/valuation.

if its a single family you'd get an appraisal called 1004 as is + arv . if its a 2 to 4 unit you'd get a 1025 as is + arv appraisal .

The typical price point is 120-180k for a single family house.

@Patricia Andriolo-Bull, not sure if they've iterated the system since you did yours, but now there's a button for downloading the filing transcript (a PDF containing all the info that you submitted). 

House hacking seems like the best strategy for me.My goal is to purchase a single-family home in Maryland, D.C, (from lurking I've heard D.C was terrible for investing) or Virginia with multiple rooms where I'm making monthly payments similar to what I pay in rent and other charges ($2000-$2500).

As of right now, yes just focusing on Single family fix and flips.  

To be honest, I have been really happy with the person who has been helping me, but there's an issue with capacity because she is a full-time employee somewhere else and I believe a single mom. 

A little history on my investment real estate journey if we can call it that….Back in 2005 my wife and I bought our very first home when we were 24/25, 3 Bed, 1 ½ bath 1500 sqft single family home for $167,000.
