The biggest problem I see with seller financing is the cost of repairs (as well as holding, selling, etc.)

Trust me; you don't want to miss those crucial dates and risk losing money or even blowing the whole deal.

Thanks in advance,Rookie You’re going to struggle to find cash flow anywhere in the dmv, you would really be buying for appreciation only, both for ease and some upside, I’d look at some condos in dc, definitely some risk, but you can pick up a condo at a price you would have paid a decade ago. 

Property managers and agents can be really helpful as well as they’ll give you insight into the market and could have some opportunities for you down the road.In the meantime, try researching the areas you're interested in.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

While you should always consult a CPA and/or attorney for their professional advice, here's my 3 cents (I'm sure others will chime in as well):1) Having an LLC may make it "easier" to track but it's not needed in this situation as you can run this through your personal return just as well.

As well as making sure there is not a dominant agent in the area.

But I've seen some solid properties in Akron as well that had good cash flow, but definitely seeing rents in Cleveland a bit higher right now

Congrats on your success so far and to future success as well!

I have been to the 3-day and it is a well run event, by professional persons.
