I know Southern Maryland so I focus on this area, I have bought and sold properties elsewhere in the state but SoMD is home so this is where is work most often.

And when I do get licensed is it just a test online similar to drivers license test or do I actually need to go somewhere like a school?

For example, I recently bought a warehouse using a method I call Seller Refi. for Takeover.

Then they'll leave during the summer when you can get plenty of demand anyway.Also, like you said, check with realtors, and check online for insurance relocation companies.

I've bought a couple houses on my own now, but I like the idea of having a group of people with aligned interests and varied skills.

@Rodney Getsy I have some references for you as well if you want to shoot me a PM.As far as ATW I have never personally worked with them but I will say I haven't heard anything good about them in the years that I have been doing this.I have worked with a couple of the sellers trying to sell a house that they bought from them on owner finance terms. being the that the seller was being foreclosed on by them.

However, I don't do it on mine because its very questionable to me whether the total cost to total benefit calculus really makes it worth while for individual SFR properties that are not cookie cutter duplicates of one another, equipped very differently, bought at different times, in different locations, etc.

I have purchased two homes that I bought as bank-owned and fixed up while living in them.

We bought it two years ago, and owe $130 on a 30 year mortgage at 4%.

We bought a duplex in La Mesa that was really 2 detached houses using the VA loan.
