I am seeking properties that need work, distressed properties, properties that did not hit the market yet, any other opportunities that cannot be found easily on the MLS.

Do we sell the northern va property now so we have cash in hand to buy the investment properties when the economic downturn hits, hold and sell after Amazon comes, or keep long-term?

If they're filth is bothering you that bad and you can afford the hit financially boot em at the en of their lease. 

Once you have the hit list, contact a few contractors to find out what is their estimate to do the work required.  

If so, that may be a good average over 5 years but you could get hit with a 4k ac unit or worse your first year.

and my buddy shot him.  1 round, center mass - hit his spine and that was the end of the bear. 

There are a lot more efficient cheaper operating systems on the market to choose from.

We are also working on seller financing for part of the cost to lessen the amount needed to hit 20% as we don’t think it makes sense to pay PMI here. basically thinking ill make monthly payments to them over the next 2 years.

When properties hit the open market, they sell for market value. 

It doesn't matter where your reserves are invested just as long as you have access to them.Now, once you hit 10 loans...then you cannot receive any additional Fannie/Freddie type of money.
