Ill definitely look into a few areas out side of dc there are a few places in baltimore i have had my eye on. my only hang up is that I currently work in dc and I think the FHA loans require you to live in the property for a year or so

Jon, Ill look into Chase as well, but if you're local or near long beach, do you have a loan officer you deal with on a regular basis that you'd recommend, or do you, and investors in general, deal with the bank directly?

Typically I do some of (most of) the work myself but am thinking that it may be better if I GC’ed the job in order to keep things a little simpler (unfortunately, knowing myself Ill end up getting into something and want to make sure we accommodate for that).We haven’t spoken in detail about structuring things so I thought I would float it here and hopefully some of you will have some advice.
