I saw them out walking their dog, so left a note saying I'd be back the next day to repair some minor things and would prefer they were home.

I am looking to buy "dirt" to spec build custom homes, wholesale property and rehab properties if the opportunity becomes available.

PM me and I'll be happy to refer to you my candidates once I have them selected based on experience, volume, and customer service.

These types of Realtors look through the MLS themselves, and E-blast potential deals to their investor customers, and if someone is interested they will use the agent as the buyers agent.

I would prefer not to have three guys living in this house.

I'd advertise it now anyway, obviously emphasizing the ability for "custom" choices by he buyer, and just proceed with all the basics anyway, and see if a buyer steps up.

Most people prefer gas also for cooking because it heats up quicker.

I've gleaned from BP forums deals ranging from 50/50 no preferred, to 8% preferred with 70/30 going to the investor.

I can't give any good insight regarding investing in D.C or the college town, but personally I would prefer the college town.In order to identify a good neighborhood, you need to become familiar with everything around it and how that affects real estate.

I also found that I prefer to have the hard copy books even though I'm taking it on-line.
