I would say if your not at the level of occupancy you want, then try it.

Pre-covid, I saw many on-market properties that were good/decent fixer-uppers for owner-occupants. 

Exclude everyone that will be above your Investment level $$$$$$. 

I will be managing remotely and I'd like to install cameras to monitor the ground level entrances and the driveway. 

At a really high level, this is how the GPs and LPs work together to perform a real estate syndication!

I cannot wait until I have some level of experience to be able to positively contribute also.In the interim, we are looking at an off-market deal with a friend of the family.

We want to even the floor up to the same level as main house and are unsure if we should request a permit for it. 

We realize that it's a sellers' marker in the DMV, but we're willing to adapt to the ever-changing market.Would love to talk to a realtor and property manager that specializes in College Park, Silver Spring, Upper Marlboro area!

This actually helps out, since the dirt is drier and we can dig further down, prior to hitting the creek level.  

So I bought a SFH fixer upper with that cash and tried my first BRRRR.
