Anywhere in the "metro DC" area on either side of the river is essentially prohibitively expensive for investing - the REAL investing where you are buying way below market.

All-in with purchase and repairs was about $ 45,000 initially, so essentially I have $ 5,000 of my money into the deal.

I've just made the adjustment to include display network ads yesterday after seeing a webinar with another Real Estate guy showing how he is racking in leads using facebook ads which is essentially a form of display network ads.

Essentially I can have an open traditional IRAs, even multiples to reach a contribution limit similar to a solo 401k, and then make on going rollovers from the IRA to contribute to the solo 401k.

I feel you send the wrong message with the first month essentially free!

Cash reserves are essential to being in this business.

So my offer is essentially 130K + 31K + removal cost + $30 per day between now and when it closes.

How are the neighborhoods, crime rates, school district, etc?

I can tell you that school districts are VERY important when picking a location.I personally I am a buy and hold investor.

These houses are located in great school districts and our tenants want to stay.
