Our team goes from Philly to Baltimore to DC to Richmond

WA, OR, UT, NV, ID, NM, AZ, TX.

From my POV.it really depends on asset class and tenant Class.. this is a huge distinction. my clients that I sold apartment complex to in Oregon with B class.. they pay 4% but then have to pay for on site manager as employee.. so 4% to manage the on site person so that person does not rip you off :).However for BP and I have to think the vast majority of the rental property investors on this site that have gone to  D C B out of state markets.. those props are not like a 600k rental in Denver and the tenant that comes with it.. or really any city with a A class tenant..

My husband and I just sold a rental property in WA state so we have about $85k to invest. 

@Brandon Carlson 63117 (Richmond Heights) , 63130 (university city which is close to Washington Univ) and 63110 (tower grove, Shaw, dogtown) are all very good areas.

Washington DCHow would you scale?

@Jim Doyle- thanks   1) consider increasing the purchase price by the amount of the elec and roof  work that needs to be done  and then assist  seller with  getting the work  scheduled and completed  ( as this will be required to be donw before closing ) ..this way the  seller  is technically  paying for the  repairs  and they wont lose  any  proceeds ....they will pay a little  extra  wa state sale excise tax  but  that  wont amount to too much  2)  consider  putting less down  and using some of your funds to pay for  the repairs  ( or part of the repairs )   3)  consider using a rehab loan  4)  consider  keeping the price  where it is and asking for the sellers to complete  repairs  (  this likely wont happen)  5)  get roofer and contractor  estimates and get them  lined up to do the work asap  as it might takes  weeks to get this scheduled / done  6)  ask seller for  extension on closing date if the  work  will take  longer than 10 days ,,,Good luck

Hello BiggerPockets community,I'm a new investor ready to enter the real estate market in the DC metro area, with a focus on Northern Virginia.

Since I am not 100% sure that I actually do own the White House, I want to use a Quit Claim Deed to make sure I am not doing anything illegal.My questions:1) Where can I find an example of a Washington DC Quit Claim Deed?
