Michele, yes, I spend a lot of my drive time listening to podcasts.

What amenities does the complex have compared to the newer properties off of Montague and the surrounding area? 

The owner is pretty much stuck, the use of the property is very limited and the lack of financing alternatives drives marketability down as it is also reflected in the value.

In very hot markets this is a good idea plus you can drive by the property see if you can view it with your agent (that day )and shoot an offer right away.

If I pre-qualify someone when their rate is 3.875% and then the market reacts and drives rates up to the high 4's before it settles down.

For example, track your mileage when driving for dollars, costs of postage/yellow letters, etc.

In this case, I have a Section 8 tenant who just got unlucky in life, its a family of 4 looking for a home in Glen Burnie, MD or it's surrounding areas for a 3bed @ $1700 & under a month. 

Here are some of the numbers:Estimated ARV:  $150,000Judgement against homeowner:  $116,000Estimated repairs (based on drive by):  $50,000Target purchase price:  $55-$60,000My first preference would be to get the lienholder to agree to allow me to assume the mortgage at $.50 on the dollar.  

My family has owned a few homes and commercial properties so I grew up knowing I want to invest in real estate and do understand it may not be necessarily easy at times, but I am willing to put in the work and effortMy hopes of joining this amazing forum is to make new opportunities possible and network with different individuals with the drive to meet their goals, such as myself.

They'll give you a free test drive and if you sign up I'd love to put you down as a referral - $50 off for the year for both of us.
