If you can't find a deal there, then you are not going to find one going five hours away.I could afford to flip homes in baltimore or richmond but they're both in excess of 2hrs away...I would think you could find a lot of opportunity right across the bridge in Prince Georges county

Ideally areas the will improve over the next five years.
