Hi Lincoln, If it's going for that price $300K, it better be in a very good location in DC, close to metro.

He is located on Camano Island and seems reputable, but he is not.

Vernon  not sure how popular Air BnB is there but I bet you could do well in those locations.. and maybe Pentiction

Location is everything.

We are located in Vacaville, CA and plan on starting in Solano county; but we are willing to look further such as Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Hello,I am new to BP and have found a lot of very useful information, I am located in the Northern VA metro area and would like to learn while adding value to someone's REI team.  

Very Competitive Location.

It puts a lot of pressure on reality that a good deal in a good location will cost more up front than overtime.

So you need more money at the get go to make them work. plus these properties are in locations that are up and coming/desireable, are expensive to build new housing in/don't have open space, etc. that's why they gentrify, because they are near more expensive areas.

It's located close to an affluent area with a good amount of middle class jobs that is currently experiencing a housing shortage.
