Collaboration with investors and corporations could lead to projects that stimulate economic growth, create job opportunities, or support sustainable business practices.3.

You don't even need to keep your job. 

MoCo is nice but has increased in value a lot just like DC and NoVA so I would imagine it would be harder there, but I'm not really personally looking at those markets too hard so I could be wrong.I co-host a meetup once/month in Laurel - I'd be happy to pass along the details for the next one once it's posted if you're interested.

Once all of the work is completed, I would then go to one of the lenders you're talking to and refinance the property and get all of the money invested back out, pay off the seller-financed portion of the loan ($450k), pay off your grandparents' loan, plus interest and have myself a nice 4-plex that didn't require me to put any of my own money into the deal.  

Two adults means more household income which I find is safer if one loses their job.
