It's not well publicized but the limit of 3.5 can be expanded out if you're able to demonstrate that you're able to save more every month.You're best bet is to find someone you trust a lot and to buy a house/apartment with them, if there's extra rooms you can rent them under the 'rent a room scheme' which can give you €14,000 a year tax free which should more than cover the mortgage and allow you to save up a bigger deposit quicker for an investment property.Hope I've helped somewhat!

Here goes:My business partner and I have been using a PO Box for several years, but now have an opportunity to have a physical address (I guess we always did, as does anyone with mf properties).The idea started at our latest project, a six unit, three story building with huge basement divided into rooms.  

I'd look at the ratio of land to the total value on the assessors website and using that ratio against what you physically paid.

If the numbers don't make sense and I would bet in the DC market they don't then don't force it.. wait for one that does work or move to plan B. 

I bet you will be surprised and can get it sold.

@Brent Langlois  all title companies are different.there are a few in PA were I was selling some prop.. and they would not accept wire instructions unless I was physically in there office dictating them  in person.I said well that's kind of tough being I am in Orygun... so they fed ex a check.I don't like checks from small non national companies there was a title co. in Texas that went busto and many folks lost tons of their proceeds as the money went missing and company closed its doors.. so I 99% of the time want my funds wired. 

If you want your asset to grow in value while remaining relatively low risk, Fairfax County/DC/Montgomery County are your likely best bets.

Then they might consider working with you in a case like that.If you mean physical auction properties, then again, do the due diligence for the investor. 

Thanks for the shout out @Gualter Amarelo   @Angel Dejesus   Your best bet would be to acquire multiple 6 units.

Savannah, Providence all along 380 I have noticed seems to alway have an inventory of rentals but are in a different school district as you might expect.I bet on Gunter, but I'm watching it carefully.
