My wife and I are new to real estate investing but we have discussed our long term and important goals to us and decided last year on a long term hold investment strategy.

Lastly, For the state of VA I only found that I can collect a maximum of two months deposit.

Technically I am not a new member since I signed up with Bigger Pockets last year but since I never introduced myself so I guess I could consider myself new ;-).

You would have to pretty much get a property for free in order to qualify.I have submitted two properties to their underwriters, and both were rejected because of last minute requirements that changed the lending criteria.I paid $2,000 (one year's worth) in order to be able to receive funding.

However on last viewing the ordinance had a lot of catches in it.

Hey Zack,I have been in the Warrenton area for the last 3 years and am currently working investments in the area.

I put one up last week and got about 10 investors that called me looking to buy properties.

@Fredy Juarez bandit signs,Craigslist,Rei meetings, cash buyers who purchase properties in the last  6 months,postlets,

Of course, my software is always the last.
