For those that think purchasing in the Northern Virginia Market is out of their scope here's the background on my wife and I's latest investment.

@Jeremy Anhalt I ran my numbers at $1200 and am thinking I should be able to get $1,250-$1,300 since the units are really nice and they're huge!

Hi Everyone,I'm a Chef by profession looking to purchase my first real estate investment property in 2025. 

I see a few red flags and just want to know if these are typical provisions and I'll be facing a "take it or leave it" scenario with ny intermediary I hire.Please give me your thoughts, my gut says the QI wants overly broad protection from everything and that shouldn't include things like not verifying instructions are from me or for negligence or misconduct.Sample Terms1.

I'm a University of Maryland student studying business and about to go into my senior year.

Hello everyoneI am an investor newbie, looking to make my first deal.

Some of the information above is a little hazy to me so my answer is based on the assumption that you currently have a 390k first mortgage at 2.99% and a 285k heloc balance on your investment property at some floating rate.  

I’m a U.S. citizen who has lived my entire life abroad, but I still submit my tax returns annually.

Yes I flip with my own cash, hard money and private. 

My local banks will only do a heloc on a primary residence.
