Finding the right location

[Heath Thomas Jr]

I live in washingtom DC and Late next year I'd like to start getting invested in multi family units. Ideally I'd like to house back and get an FHA loan. By this time I will hopefully be doing real estate full time so I am open to the location a little more than I would be if I were still working, I.e. Baltimore.

Do any buy and hold investors have tips on choosing aa good area to start buying multi units? What important qualities should I look for in a neighborhood? Where do I find this information?
