Hello! I am a young mechanical engineer who is interested in learning about real estate investments - I'm ready to step away from the stock market for a bit and explore other opportunities that require some more TLC. ...

I like it better for lower crime vs Bake generally and those 200,000 aerospace layoffs are a thing of the past.  

However, I have found most of these are the fresh out of the seminar type who have no idea what they're doing, but I'm sure they're not all like that.

., good to hear as I am a new investor in the D.C. area seeking SFH income properties in some of the exurbs of D.C. currently looking at Frederick as there seem to be some decent quality homes there that are still in my fairly low price range (fresh out of college).

The house looks to be in decent shape inside, with fresh pain and clean floors from what I can tell.

You got a fresh coast of paint on everything, new carpets, cleaners came though.

The home is freshly rehabbed with a pool & hot tub so perhaps that is a perk they liked.

It is free up to a certain number of units and has good functionality and easy to use IMHO.There are other software programs too but they generally have a higher fee.You may want to create a list of must have features and them do a bake-off

I would NEVER invest in something large, with creative financing, in a half-baked manner, while working a full-time job.

You might be able to bake it into the rent, but it's there.3.)
