Rehab is not required but I want to change the house with a rehab in the $30k-$50k range.

For example, research supporting why you're focusing on homes in the price range of $100K-180K, why you plan to market your properties through Craigslist, etc. because someone other than yourself may be looking at your plan at some point and they need to know the method to the madness.Good points to research are:- How fast are homes selling in your target price range- What is the median income of the local population- What is the median family size of each household- Where are the best neighborhoods located; best schools- Marketing: how are you going to convert leads into sales?

My wife and I have invested in relatively low end townhouses in MoCo, however we are finding it challenging to find multi-family in that area or any place close to DC within our price range/level of risk.Either we've felt uncomfortable with the expense of the multi-family properties or (perhaps incorrectly) equated the higher priced properties as a tradeoff of low cash flow and possibly higher appreciation (due to increasing rents) vs higher current cash flow and lower appreciation in the more remote areas.

Spending about 20K to paint inside and out, add a new range, and stage.

The range of properties for sale on our site is quite extensive; some could use updating or repairs while others are move-in ready.

Also, a new range, dishwasher and paint.  

2bd+/1bd+ SFRs in the range of $30-70k w/little to no repairs.

The biggest problem getting comps is that the property is right by Blue Ridge Blvd which is a major thoroughfare and it appears to be a dividing line between a nicer area to the southeast with homes selling for $90k-$100k+ and a lower-priced area (where your property is) to the northwest with homes ranging from $50k-$80k.

There are 1-2 newer houses right next door, other than that there aren't many new houses in the area.Can anyone chime in here and tell me what you think it's worth based on what little info I have or what "major rehab" costs range from?

(columbia, germantown, owings mill or any other area within close range).
