There is a lot of foreign capital coming in to this city as well as Hedge Funds and other institutional investors coming in, which is inflating prices.To find a good deal, as a small mom-and-pop investor, you will need to do a lot of networking with reputable (emphasis on "reputable") wholesalers in the area and invest a lot in marketing to come across an off market deal that makes sense. 

If I were to start again with what I know now, I would have started straight to the turnkey with a reputable provider in Memphis or Birmingham.

I have been looking around for a reputable and competent GC that is also an investor (with the investor mentality) that may be able to provide some capital and their GC services / intuition / project management and do a lot of volume of deals with me.

I see great resources in throughout the web site and offers in my inbox from BP.

You should also seek a property management company with a great reputation in the local area.

Doraville has a reputation as very much lower income/blue collar.

I have friends that live two blocks away so i know the reputation but the property is a 5br 1bath for 17k which has been newly rehabbed and the owner needs to free up some money.  

Theres a home near downtown in an area that has a bad reputation, but it really isn't that bad, I lived in the area myself for a couple years.

From my experience converting print marketing to web is very challenging.

Can anyone send me property managers that a reputable in the Northern Virginia area?
