New Investor Looking to House Hack near Washington D.C.!

Hey BiggerPockets! I am a senior graduating from Virginia Tech in May and getting married in November :)  For the last six months, I've analyzed a real estate deal every day, listened to over 100 BP podcasts, read The House Hacking Strategy, and I'm currently reading Long-Distance Real Estate Investing.

My fiance and I are hoping to set up our first house hack sometime before we get married, and are looking in this purple area!

Where would you all recommend investing? I have been looking at single-family homes in the Fort Washington area, and the numbers seem to work out alright there. Does anyone have experience in this area? Does anyone know what room rentals are worth in Fort Washington? 

My fiance and I care less about how the numbers work while we're living in the property and care more about how the numbers will work after we move out in one year. The plan is to move once a year for five years, turning each former house hack into a rental property when we leave. We have nearly no home repair/renovation experience, but we've put a bunch of tools on our wedding registry and we love to learn! Really looking forward to meeting some fellow DMV investors and connecting with other BP members! :)
