@Benjamin Brajovic Developing deep relationships with broker and property managers.

Many neighborhoods are seeing their areas renovated while tax and development incentives are enticing many businesses to move in and grow.

Ideally, the property would be good for FHA / 203k, as I will live in it.I’m looking to meet with an agent to show some properties and talk numbers.

I’d definitely pass—good possibility it’s a scam, and even if it isn’t an outright scam imagine trying to collect from a 90 year old out of state co-signer who will likely develop a severe case of “oh your honor I didn’t know.....” if there is any trouble!

@Inemesit Crump I’m very familiar with gifts of equity and the situation you described seems ideal for it.

Hello there,I own a commercial lot in downtown Tacoma (5000sqft) that I would like to develop into a 4 story microunit apartment building.

The funny part is we demoed all the ceilings but the slab leak didn't develop until they were put back together.

What I’m realizing is that there isn’t a plethora of multifamily properties in the Northern Va area, the ones in DC are either way too expensive or in SE, and NE and I’m not too familiar with which areas are good to buy, they’re in PG which I’ve heard isn’t really developing all that well and isn’t as good a buy as Montgomery Country, or they’re too far out in Montgomery Country that I worry about finding renters.I’ve got searches on the MLS setup to send me any multis in the DMV so I’m looking but I just want to know of there are any people in the area that can give me some advice.

Ideally we want small multi-family again, looking to be able to house hack and BRRRR it. 

On a personal note, I've found that developing curiosity as a lifelong habit has made for a pretty fulfilling life, both in and outside of investing.
