Hi all,

I'm new to real estate and located in the DC/NoVA area which is a very high CoL area.

Looking to purchase my first property with intent to rent a room or other unit to someone else to help pay the mortgage. 

From my quick research it seems like this is a tough area to cash flow if I move in a few years, and there are very few duplex/multifamily type units in the area, especially in my price range.

Two main questions:

1.  I have a long commute and started downloading the BP podcasts.  Are there any certain episodes you think are really good for beginners that I should start with?

2.  Any preferred meetups or people in the Northern Virginia / DC metro area I should seek out?

I haven't been impressed with the meetups I've found so far.
