I scrape the MLS and do a lot of analysis of properties daily for my clients... and based on my research, Southern MD, portions of Baltimore, and other exurbs (Northern MD around Hagerstown) Southern VA around Fredericksburg and Winchester can all have properties that will cash flow.  

However I find myself reading and enjoying, and learning from other members posts almost on a daily basis so I figured this is my chance to give back! 

If it is paid off or has a conventional he maybe able to swing it as he could show it would allow him to improve his financial situation to rent the old home and have a duplex to rent one side.Be upfront with your lender and this is not a deal for a rookie to cut their teeth on.

I'm a big podcast listener so I've been devouring the BP podcast and learning so much.I have very little experience in the field thus far and so my main focus at the moment is finding a solid mentor who would be willing to let me come alongside them and learn on a daily or at least weekly basis.

MLS listings are sold daily on low ball offers.The trick is offering at whatever PP and proving the ability to deliver the offer at first contact.Unfortunately, many buyers' agent/brokers don't see volume to keep phone lines and cell phones busy other than socializing.  

Neither of them were digital but both on main road ways with great daily car counts. 

I have seen big church's move in and take over those spaces.. but that does not really help the people living there with their daily needs. 

Residential retail is slow right now and dealing with buyers and sellers is like pulling teeth! 

The VA provides on a daily basis an email that reports that details how many calls, voicemail, and also what potential leads that fit my buy criteria.  

JOB stands for just over broke. thats what employers do. they give you just enough money to keep coming back; because you have to. then, after they have sucked almost all the life out of you, they throw you away. it doesn't matter how much effort you put into that job over the years, or what you gave up on a daily basis, or how many times you have gone the extra mile for them. in the end, when you are used up, they are done with you. i would rather earn less money and be free than to make more money and be a slave to someone or some company. there is always a price for freedom.
