An Online Community for Real Estate Investors in Northern Virginia

Welcome to a community of current and potential real estate investors in Northern Virginia.  This blog attempts to fill a void.  I couldn't find a website that explained the basics of real estate investing to people new to the business.  I also couldn't find an effective way to connect with others who would be interested in sharing best practices and potentially doing business together.  This blog is my attempt to fill both of those niches.

Initially, I'll go over the basics of residential real estate investing: 1) How you make money; 2) What you need to get started; 3) Putting together a team; 4) Screening tenants; and 5) Managing the property.

I'll have guest posts from other investors and people in the industry including: lenders, real estate brokers, and home inspectors.  I'll also share articles on the latest real estate trends.  Hopefully, we'll build up some good comments and sharing of information for those interested in the subject.

Stay tuned, the next post is the most important: How to make money investing in residential real estate!
