Welcome JohannaAs you already probably know, here is plenty of information and good people to connect with Try to read as much as possible and try to attend some of the investor meetings There is a very good one close to you, I believe they meet once a month in the Bethesda Womans Club,  plus there are some others in Tyson's Corner and Downtown DCMy advice to be taken seriously as wholesaler is to understand very well the numbers your investor buyer needs, and present only reasonable opportunities, your ARV has to be realistic using real and relevant comps (close in distance, close in time and close in characteristics) and the spread must be enough for him to pay: interest, rehab costs, realtor commissions, etc and still make a decent profit selling quickly.

It's right around the corner. 

Most lenders in our corner of the country won't touch anything under $1M and the local banks that claim they do treat them more like a personal loan than one secured by existing income producing real estate.

Further, the ideas around second liens by way of their liens position can cause the newbie investor to be locked into a corner.  

that needs to be cleaned many many contractor bags or even a dumsterget a teen in the neighborhood to assist with clean up if you just cant muster up the vigor to tackle the clean up but honestly it isnt so bad. clean up happens pretty quickly big items first then sweep up starting from the corners and wall edges and work in toward the center of the room.investing in a big metal dustpan and a broom that is tied together well is the key. there will be more to follow. 

I'm pretty sure I saw a drug deal at the corner gas station when I drove by.I will definitely be negotiating price down, and I've told him this several times.
