Need advice on condo market in DC + neighborhood

[Mary Joe]

Hi All

I live in NY,  am thinking of purchasing a condo as a rental investment in DC, near metro, long term buy and hold. Would appreciate advice on the following

1) Can you recommend safe and good neighborhoods that are easy to attract stable and good quality tenants?  The only ones I know of is Georgetown and Dupont Circle, wonder if there are other areas that I should consider.

2) What is the condo market like in DC these days?  Crazy expensive, overheated,  or stable? 

3) What is the approx average rent per sq feet these days for condos in Dupont Circlce and Georgetown area?

4) Anything in particular that an out of town investor needs to know about buying condos in DC and renting it out?

Would appreciate any advice you can offer, many thanks in advance !
