Northern Virginia (along with DC and Montgomery and northern PG County) are all relatively low risk, thus low yield properties. 

BTW, they count my house in Japan as one of my conventional slots even though it's a Japanese bank loan. 

(PG and DC you do however)FHA is really for people with poor credit.

Kinda wished I did the flip after I filled my 10 conventional slots, but oh well, beggers can't be choosers in this case.

All others have worked out a decent ROI.Another reason why I stopped using this site, is back then I could bid for an auction, and could bid on any property in that auction slot. 

Anyone have recommendations for PG county contractors?

PG County offers some great rehab opportunities as well.  

You seem to know the areas from Baltimore to PG so choose one that fits your price points and is close enough for you to monitor.  

I know it’s still a lot of opportunity in Baltimore, but will you be investing in DC and PG as well?

Cash flow is very possible in PG County but there's nothing he could buy in Arlington that is going to cash flow, and at his price point of $300k the only thing he could afford to buy in Arlington is a condo at River Place in Rosslyn (which is on a land lease that expires in 30 years hence the more reasonable prices).
