Washington DC/Maryland Market
Hi Everyone,
I’m just starting out (haven’t yet bought a property) but I’m preparing myself to purchase within the next year or two. I currently live in Boston and the market here is too expensive and I don’t plan on being here too much longer.
I’ve gone to DC many times in the past year and so far it’s my favorite city, I’m hoping to move there soon and I’m interested in what areas are good to look at. I know with the city slowly changing, the recommended areas may change by the time I’m ready to buy. But I’m interested in house hacking and rental properties particularly in multi families and 2-4 unit buildings. Does anyone have any suggestions of what areas to look at and what websites would be useful to look at properties in DC?
Thanks,
Olivia
