Nice to meet you Niklas.  

Would be nice to meet some local investors.  

Looking forward to connecting with all the awesome people here and to meet some like minds.

@Chris Odeneal  You should attend the meetings and/or join the local real estate investing association.  

There are a lot of meet up groups here that have lots of investors, experienced and inexperienced to work with. 

They have a meeting in several areas (Reston, Falls Church, Alexandria) but Warrenton is closest to you. 

. - at least that's the topic for October.November will be a legislative update regarding seller financing and interior rental inspections and December is speed networking so you can meet a lot of people.

This is a great group that meets in Fairfax City each month.

Make sure to find your local REI meet-ups and attend as they are invaluable to establishing your local RE base.Good luck and contact me if there is anything I can do to help as an investor or architect!

Then there are the non-standard pets that are harder to detect like snakes, lizards, hamsters, etc.
