I know there were some great deals in the last year, but&nbsp; now I'm hearing that all these homes in my price range (lower end) are being snapped up by investors with 100% cash. <br/><br/>I've got good credit, plenty for downpayment, etc. but this area still seems really overpriced (around Alexandria or further south).<br/><br/>If anyone knows any realtors in the NOVA area, please contact me so we can talk. I'm totally clueless and it seems Zillow's listings are not too accurate.<br \><br \>9 replies Sun, 29 Nov 2009 21:13:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Realtor-in-DC/302440/ 2009-11-29T21:13:00Z How to finance a REO property? http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/How-to-finance-a-REO-property/300595/ <p class="MsoNormal"><font>There is a REO property that I am interested in.
