My lease expires in April so I'd rather make moves before then.Should I, invest in the cheaper areas in Maryland like Prince George's County or Montgomery county.

I currently work with the Prince George's County Planning Dept. reviewing subdivision plans and have also worked with Montgomery County reviewing record plats (if anyone has zoning/subdivision/permit-related questions feel free to ask).

Martin  You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find that prince!!!

So, I'm driving for dollars and see the ugliest house on a great block in a great neighborhood in Laurel, MD in Prince George's County.

Should I look elsewhere, like Frederick or Prince Georges County?

Certain percentage of the purchase price, say 5% or so)which closing fees are refundable and non-refundable;are all of them required and which ones are the most important once;For 1 bedroom condo with an asking prince of $300,000 i have received a pre-approval letter with below closing fees:Bank attorney fees $700 (are these usually fixed or percentage driven fees?)

Thank you, Diana!!!

If you are willing to look around south of Baltimore - Anne Arundel, Prince George's, Calvert, Charles, and St.

I am looking to do an assessment of Prince Georges County, so I can focus on certain cities.
