I would recommend the Baltimore/Washington Investors Meetup (go to meetup.com and search for it) since you are in Oakton, that's the closest one to you that I know of that has lots of Baltimore investors attending it.  

Pick a criteria for ex. like 3bd 2bth 1500 sqft then look at similar houses in the same neighborhood or least within a half a mile with same amount of beds and baths and couple hundred feet within the square footage.

The lot I paid cash for is a nice lot w/ a great view that I felt deserved a larger home so that is why I bought the second lot.

I do recall people in Vegas were the banks were doing big time drop bids.. they would do a strategic default then have a schill show up and buy the home  then buy it back from them.. and there is another her in Oregon that I don't wish to make public.And I bought a property last year were the bank had fouled up the foreclosure in WA and then just sent the owner the deed.. he had not paid a payment in 7 years.. 

I'm so excited to be introducing myself  - my name is Kate Kedenburg, and I'm a very recent arrival to the Tacoma, WA area.

Due to the size and zoning, it seems a win/win.The house has lots of issues and is just 1600 square feet, and the potential for income is of course better by improving the site.I'm hoping to tap into knowledge on this site.  

I budget $1,000 per year for maintenance and $.67 per square foot for capital reserve on average for a single family. 

The 1900+ square foot 3/2 is fully furnished, has WIFI, new appliances, new smart TV.  

I am up in Washington so the requirements are different.

The problem is that I am from Washington, and there are a few rules here.
