Hi Loretta,It sounds like you may need to lower the price to make up for the undesirable aspects of the neighborhood.I'd be happy to help analyze your property as I'm close to Herndon.Good luck!

I am energized by the entrepreneurial aspect of researching properties and wholesaling/birddogging.

You can also set up an LLC and define contributions and payments.  

I'm thinking this may have more to do with not wanting to deal with the hassle of moving or not necessarily being interested in the design aspect.

Remember, leveraging your buying power will do great things in all aspects of real estate investing.

I ask because I am in the same situation and also need guidance on the financial aspect of earning money offshore and re-investing the money in the US e.g. tax, money transfer, etc...

No I wouldn't charge them for 10 year old carpet replacement but spilling red wine on my carpet is not wear and tear :) Not maintaining the yard and therefore costing $700 to get it back under control is not wear and tear especially since defined in the lease.
