Glad you joined the best real estate investing website! 

That is if the $26k you are putting in from the beginning doesn't totally strap you for cash.Also, and this is a personal thing which may not be true for you, I always want the numbers to cash flow positive after including property management in the calculations.Good luck.

@Casey BoergerTry the county website and call around to title agencies.

The key factor, you being the negotiator, if you feel strong in this position and if you do not. reach out to a real estate investor and negotiate a percentage you are willing to provide for their service. 

If you get on the websites and see what is listed and take note of the pictures and size and bedrooms and then you watch them eventually you will get a good sense of property values.

I can't find anywhere that Cozy lists out Fair Housing Guides to tenants through their website. 

The search for DC taxes and recorder of deeds website filters are too broad.

Probably something simple I am missing or the deal just doesn't make sense.3 condos, the owner has 14 out possible 48 in this complex and if the deal goes through may lead to more deals with her.the condos are 1/1, 2/1 and 2/2, she is asking 76k for the 2 2/1s and 64k for the one bedroom. total 216k, she would hold a second position note for 30k with me putting down the remainder of the 20% down (13,200) and pay closing costs. she would like 6 payments, one each year of 5200 for 6 years which comes out to 31200 total, about 1.5% interest rate if my calculations are correct.For simplicity, I am counting the 3 as a triplex, so rental income is 2325/month, tenants pay for electric and gas, HOA of 185(555) per pays for water, sewer and garbage as well as exterior and common area maintenance, snow removal, grass cutting, etc. taxes are 266 and insurance is 50 month (HO-6) policy which I hadn't heard of before.

The free service, for landlords with two or less properties, tracks expenses, profit/loss, etc. of your rental properties ($50 fee if greater than two) but it requires linking accounts in order to automatically track and categorize expenses for you.I’m always uneasy when a website requires linking bank accounts.

If your net monthly positive cashflow is 2.5x your personal housing expense plus all other non-mortgage consumer monthly debt obligations, and you are buying cashflow positive real estate, you can get a normal Fannie loan.
