Flipping in Ivy City Washington, DC

[Bobby Akines]

Has anyone tried to flip in Ivy City in DC? Trying to get a feel for what the appetite is for homes there. I live in NoMa in DC, and I love the "bones" of the neighborhood, but trying to gauge timing for any sort of investment there. Also, perhaps a more general question, but what are some good metrics people have used when analyzing a new neighborhood/market to invest in? Thanks!
