I'm looking to purchase some SFH in the northern Virginia area to manage.

That said I’ve bought a bucketload of property without a down payment or traditional financing.  

some of the charges are driving with a suspended license criminal littering/ pollution on private property no mandatory insurance unsafe lane changecriminal trespassing...showed bonded out and later dismissed disorderly conduct...later dismissed driving with no head lanps

We have a handful of properties in TN and MS, mostly older homes and maintenance is starting to dig into our profits. 

This property isn’t in an A class neighborhood by any means and really just looking to update enough to be able to be livable.

This means you are saying that you intend to live in the property for the next year. 

To focus on your area, research neighborhoods for trends, look for properties near military bases or colleges, and consider long-term rentals or short-term rentals in coastal areas and tourism hubs.

New Jersey is notorious for having terrible wholesalers.How many properties have you wholesaled in the last year?

Properly and professionally managed property in Texas has meters for every unit.Again, I'll point out meters are well under $100 each.

I experience behavior like this every day.You may not like what I have to say.It seems that the biggest problem was how you managed the process.
