Newbie from Northern Virginia! (DMV Area)

[Yong Jin Lee]

Hello, I am living in Northern Virginia, close to Washington D.C.  I am looking to invest in my area as I feel more comfortable being around my investment and would like to drive around the neighborhood.

I joined BiggerPocket while reading Rental Properting Investing from Brandon Turner. I wanted to get wisdom from more experienced investors by reading their posts in the forum and getting more information. 

Fun fact: I am a Data Engineer. While I am going through how to analyze the property, it seems like as long as there are some data I could utilize, I would be able to implement Machine Learning to automate my analysis to some degree. So I am pretty excited about that. 

It is my pleasure to meet you all!

 Welcome to BP.

The main thing in determining what type of investment for you is determining your goals and yoir risk tolerance. (Many times those 2 items do not align either).

DC is amongst the lowest risk markets in the country, and consummate with that it has some of the lowest yields in the country.
