Again, market conditions were (still) different - good deals were oh so easy to get.In the following year, I finally learned about BP, and decided to become a real “real estate investor,” which (I thought) “required” me to expand beyond just doing buy-and-hold.

I am seeking to help those that can mentor me and find very good deals in the counties surrounding DC, specifically the ones in Maryland and west Virginia that are roughly 50 miles away.

with an objective of having your network in place when it's time to pull the trigger on a deal.  

And when you look back, you'll realize that you lost even more because of low rents, the amount of time and effort you spent dealing with them, and they are likely to leave you with more expenses once they finally get out.Save yourself the heartache.

This guy Bob is the real deal!

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Cody FlicekThere are good deals on Crexi and Loopnet.

The deal also involves a sale-leaseback condition.I'm trying to understand if a 10% cap rate is considered high for this type of property.

For one property, Xcel is plenty adequate.Quickbooks is really a square peg/round hole deal for rentals of any kind.

I have a master plan that ends with me becoming a general partner in multi family deals and eventually becoming financially free.
