I am hoping that I could find a mentor/coach in the Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia area who would be willing to work with me and guide me in the right direction.Also for someone who I new to Investing, what would be the recommended area to begin?

On my last purchase in Washington, I just went with the broker recommended by my loan officer.

If so, does anyone know of a good property manager, or is their any information that anyone could give me as far as renting out a house goes in Washington?

I am going to rent my house out in WA, and my house in AZ is currently rented as well.

I would not recommend giving tenants a copy of L-T law... ours is 60 pages of RCWs (Revised Code of Washington). 

Hi RasshaanI'm from Bellingham Washington and a Syndicator

I'm working on a 4 SFR development on 15,000 square feet that requires a pond.  

The listing agent didnt list the square footage correctly, and is more like 1100 (will be 1400 after we finish closing in the back patio).  

@Antoine Nelson For example: let's say as-is non renovated houses in that area (with similar square footage and needing similar levels of repairs) have been selling for around $60k.
