7 ft may be legal but sounds awful to live in. Im 6 ft but not  renter so moot point.

Did you run it through the bigger pockets calculator? Sounds suspect with a $938 monthly fee.

You should get a real estate agent to submit the offer, its free to you, the agent commission is paid by the seller.

Cool

Your tolerance for commuting stress is a big factor.  Your life would be hell commuting from NE DC to Crystal City, in my opinion, but others may be ok with it.  Personally I have rentals in more affordable parts of Arlington (Columbia Pike Corridor) which in the long term is in the path of progress.  They are super easy, tenants are great, rents going up every time I get a new tenant.  But that's just me .. many different styles out there.

Oh and if you buy in the area of Crystal City and Amazon HQ2 lands around there, that would be awesome lol.

Where specifically your job is located in the DC metro area is important relative to the length of your commute and how much you’ll hate your life and what neighborhoods to look at.  So let us know if you want to share that.

For me 17k x 2 years aka 34k bonus is not worth the cost and hassle of relocating to DC then back to Ohio and various transaction costs. I would just stay in OH and grow your REI there.

Leasing is the DC area is easy no hire it out

Damn Wooten schools wonder how low these owners will go

I remember a cheap house in Potomac people wouldnt even enter due to mold.  Wonder if anyone bought it.

Wrong side of the Potomac river lol my tenants only need to google if they’re GS 14 or 15
