SFH or Condo buy and hold investing in DC Maryland or Virginia

[Wayne Brown]

Hello. I currently have one SFH rental property in Southern Maryland but reside in Arlington VA. I am looking forward to expanding and purchasing more properties. I have 13 years experience as a maintenance manager of 350+ unit properties in Arlington and look forward to applying my skills on my own investment properties but I am finding it difficult to locate good rental investments in DC Maryland Virginia area because it's so expensive. Any suggestions of good areas to purchase reasonably priced buy and hold properties in the DMV? I personally care more for cash flowing properties. I would love to locate and house hack a duplex, triplex or four plex on an FHA loan as well but they are hard to come by from what I have found in this particular area. Also, is anyone using condos as investment properties in the area? Any feedback is good feedback. Thanks!
