We grow our network by joining FB groups, attending networking events, we also hold our own networking event every 3rd Tuesday of the month, website, and email and social media marketing.

As long as your payment history has no blemishes, your rate will move towards 800 as 1) the "age" of your credit accounts increase and 2) the inquires fall off. 

While I dont invest in Ashburn, many of the locations I do are very similar (Rockville, Silver Spring, DC) and I can firmly attest I cash flow comfortably....and cash flow more and more as the rent grows each year.

Hope to be able to connect and speak with the large amount of investors here to learn and grow.

Having read Kyosaki from an early age, and playing Cashflow, we decided to buy our first business last year. 

Since i plan on continuing to grow both my trading account and my real estate portfolio, aligning now with an accountant that can maximize my potential with appropriate tax shelter engineering is almost as important as my investments themselves. 

I'd be getting the cash flow arbitrage (I'm figuring about $40,000/yr) and growing with rent increases. 

Happy to run different numbers for you, if you'd like and think that would be helpful.Radford might be another market to consider - growing campus, but not the same appreciation rates as Blacksburg, so the entry points to rentals are going to be consistently lower.

I've got two parcels  (.37 of an acre total) centrally located in the pedestrian area of a small but growing town in Southern Oregon. 

You just may find yourself addicted to growing and learning!
