However the previous owner will be in the military for a long time, he's on the note, and so the bank can't foreclose.

I am a long time listener and advocate of the BPP.

I think VA is a better market in terms of price growth vs MD, and a lot of my investor clients agree.In terms of local networks for mentorship/networking/guidance, there are two I know of in NoVa that I have personally been to:NOVA REI Meetups - they meet at Tysons Mall once a month.Cash Flow Breakfast Clubs - there are a few locations including Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, etc.

In the US, for Conventional loans, we can sometimes get the borrower on a payment plan and treat the plan as debt for DTI as long as certain conditions are met.

From what I've read and watched - what it seems like in this case is you would assign the deal and not be involved...again I'm speculating since I haven't done it myself but I am trying to learn too.Where I think you would probably want to be is having the transaction go into a performance deed where the buyer has to continue to make payments.

I try to either get at least one of these: price or terms.
