Depending on your goals, this might be a nice vacation property and to diversify your portfolio.

What makes it slow in this case is that you don't really start seeing real cash flow until after year five but it's more effective than rentals in that there is little to no maintenance.Sure you can live in a home while fixing it up with the intention of selling it for a nice profit later but I think many people are already doing that and the buyers of slow flips now also have that opportunity without having to qualify with a bank.

Mainly I’m trying to avoid “aged poorly design” glassblock walls, small bedrooms, older windows (wood/aluminum, single pane), aluminum patio covers, and to a lesser extent landscaping.

Nick V was not a household name either he was Armando's right hand man until Armando got out of it and Nick carried it forward and NIck made himself at least 5 to 7 mil a year for about 5 years.. he did a nice job though with his events..

But liquid in 30 days sounds like a nice feature. 

It's a nice touch, but it won't help your reviews I wouldn't think.

Eventually whatever you will buy will cashflow and cash very nicely. 

It also depends how nice it is compared to the other options out there.

Around Gaithersburg, Germantown, Rockville area the houses over there appreciate very nicely and the communities are amazing from what I've seen.Frederick does have alright neighborhoods but they dont align where I want to live, the rental growth is low, the houses do not appreciate that well over there, the areas communities are a bit seperated diversity wise.

I think the property is a nice property for renters.
