Being a landlord isn't for everybody, but there are plenty of other ways to invest in real estate and you don't need to move. 

Population is growing aggressively and jobs are moving here especially with major employers like Intel, Google, Amazon, Nationwide, etc.

I am moving out of the house in June and intend to rent the other two bedrooms to two additional tenants, unrelated to the first tenant.

I'm looking to move into the apartment and or rv space.

If you're seeking a reliable income stream, consider checking out Cleveland.

I may make a move within the next 12 months.

Is it feasible to ask the tenant to move the trash can to the curbside for weekly trash pickup when the property is rented as an entire unit?

But we basically followed David Greene's advice for finding a realtor in Long-Distance Real Estate Investing.Here's a summary of what we were looking for:* An agent who has experience being a landlord/investor and so already shares our perspective (looks for opportunity rather than curb appeal)* An agent who knows the Alexandria area well* An agent who doesn't mind showing us many houses and writing a bunch of lower offers* An agent who doesn't mind sharing their opinion about a property being wrong for us so we can move on to the next oneThere are many great meetups here.

Flipping is hard with dozens of simultaneous moving parts and there is no way to anticipate all contingencies.

If it's the latter, you're really, really effective at telling people what they want to hear to move money from their pockets to yours.
