And guess what, he was given a cease and desist order, shutting down his business until he had a new location where he could legal run the business. 

PG County isn't the hottest market in the DC area but the property is located near the future Purple Line so there is appreciation potential.

I found the location and ..... very agreeable to my needs and I look forward to working with you!

Based on the actual location of this property, you may be a little early to the party. 

Ever thought about renting out the apartment (or similar in different locations where it suits better) per room to students or expats/working people? 

You had a ton of former home owners becoming renters, and that pushed up the demand for rentals almoat everywhere.I tend to get strong rent growth in general as I specifically target locations with strong rent growth.I have however had rents go down in my far far outlying properties from DC.

@James Joynes You said  "Place" did you  mean location?

Is this related to the location of your property? 

Pretty much everyone else is looking for the exact same thing, there is no magic goldmine.
