Hey everyone,I am brand new to bigger pockets.

Investing in real estate can most definitely produce a good positive cash flow for you to never work again, if you play your cards right.

I am trying to understand all the parties that can be involved and at what point in the timeline they play a role.

Probably busy out buying quality assets that help you meet your goals instead of playing amateur macro economist. 

I've come across two SFH in the DC area that are very nice/brand new homes that, for whatever reason, were never finished being built.

You are responsible for everything inside the unit, in other words what would it cost to rebuild the entire interior of the unit, flooring, paint, brand new kitchen, brand new bathroom etc.

At the start of the auction they may withdraw some of them.If you want to play this game you should have a number of properties in your pipeline. 

It's a long term play.

I prefer concrete block.We have not had issues with termites, but the moisture here has played a role in higher maintenance costs with wood rotting from a poor stucco repair from the previous owner.

I am brand new to REI and incredibly excited for what the future will hold!!
