Investing in Washington DC metro area

[Sid Rao]

Hi folks, I live close to DC, love the city, and want to get an investment property in an upcoming neighborhood in DC. Over the past few months, I have gone all over NE and SE  neighborhoods (Anacostia, Deanwood, Randle Heights, Benning Road etc), and also bid for a few houses. Unfortunately, did meet with much success. I have primarily relied on Redfin and Zillow to find listings. Would love to hear advice or pointers to agents, from members on things I can try out to get better success.  Thanks!
