Needless to say, I messed a lot of things up.Some things I know for next time:-make sure to include security deposits credit and prorated rent credit in the purchase contract-make sure to keep all addendums that may be needed saved on computer for quick access-get all the necessary documentation for rehab funding from the contractor before going into contract on the property (my lender needed his insurance, workers comp, experience, etc. and I was not able to get rehab funded in the loan because the contractor would not send this to me and it was too late for me to find another contractor)-check that title has gotten the documents correct before they are sent over to the seller-take pictures of the house during the walkthrough for insurance purposes-check for flood zone early on -give yourself a realistic timeline for closing-check reviews on title company before choosing oneDoes anyone else have any recommendations? 

Something that I find very valuable is the access to the locals, other businesses, and city leaders in these areas when investing in commercial.

I also have an empty lot in South Minneapolis that I may sell off or build on depending on how much time I have.What you will see is conversions of SFH to duplexes as that is pretty easy. 

The high demand that those two counties have pushes price points up on the low end properties so that they simply are too close in price to the high end properties making flipping more difficult.PG county however, (along with DC) is very easy to flip in. 

The solution may not be easy, but it is simple.

The two out buildings had one that would remain unchanged the other was a easy to see value add.The most extreme and creative value add I ever saw occurred in Germany (near Kalkar).

As part of my career advancement in real estate investing, I'm looking for access to more capital to reinvest and fund deals.

It is easy to express interest in a rental listing. 

There is no easy way to tell you what will give you the best return because every neighborhood is very different.
