I am currently the Director of Building Services for a large church in my area and my wife, LaShunda, is a both a teacher and a real estate agent.  

Many people did it incorrectly and now the County is paying employees overtime to shut down these short term rentals that are not in the right areas of town or that do not have the correct business licensing. https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/clark-county/clark-county-pays-overtime-to-crack-down-on-short-term-rentals/

And most important, the water has been shut off.

The bill from a broken line may reach into the thousands of dollars if the water is not shut off quickly (how quickly will your tenants notify you?).

Friends, family, co-workers, people from your church or other organizations, etc.

@Dan ShoemakerYou shut the door on unlicensed brokers?

My partners and I are looking to flip in the Northside (23222), Church Hill (23223) and possibly Southside (23224) areas of Richmond.

I have seen many different ways to do a market valuation for special purpose buildings, such as churches or schools.

Markets that have declined in value often see upticks in rent prices, as more people are shut out from buying and inventory drops from people who don't have to sell waiting it out.

Rockville, Silver Spring, Bethesda, Chevy Chase, Fairfax, Alexandria, Falls Church usually about 5 offers, but you can often still get contingencies into the contract.
