Even if you decide to manage it yourself and the property is within thirty miles of your home, if you travel there 3x a month to pick up rents and fix problems, with todays gas prices you'll lose $30-$40 just on gas.

No the MLS is not a public utility, is a means of distributing information to brokers and their agents to cooperate in the sale of real property.

i work in northern va and let me tell you, there are tons of houses which means there's tons of potential deals. as far as getting started, here's what i'd do1. join a local investor group. there are 2 in VA. www.realestatecng.com meets in alexandria every monday and novareig meets in tysons. they always post their meetings on www.realestatecng.comthere's also another group that meets the 2nd saturday of every month in bowie. the group is awesome and the founder Sherman Ragland is very helpful when it comes to getting started.2. go to realinvestors.com and listen to the radio show's archives.3. pick an area you want to buy in. if i was considering VA i'd definitely consider market for foreclosures and expired listings. homes are high priced and are staying on the market longer. you could run across someone who may give you some good terms and put together a lease option4.

I hope to pick up and find some great advice.Have a great day!

I'm looking forward to picking your brain on some of my upcoming projects.

Pick up some cash on the way.
