For many years I was contacted by the housing office to provide input of my rents, both Section 8 and market rented units and participated in their annual surveys. 

Or paying off my debt, while I provide them with a nice house to live in instead of an apartment. 

City proper has been on 5 year bear market completely unrelated to anything political, the suburbs have been adding inventory since the summer but are still very low but any measure and have actually gotten tighter the last few month, while I am open to the idea these cuts could eventually have some effect on the market, about 20% of the dc area is federal employees, let’s say the federal government cut the work force 25% which would be huge, that’s 5% of the population, but a good number of those people are either two income households where one person works in the private and/or the person being laid can go get a similar job in the provide sector l, the percentage of households who would be forced to sell thier house over this is likely in very low single digits.

The biggest thing with 5+ units is everything is more expensive, and the inspection requirements (depending on the municipality) are often more rigorous.

It depends what your goal is.

Connecting with experienced investors or joining local real estate groups can provide valuable insights and help you avoid costly mistakes.

If they can and are willing to provide ACCEPTABLE proof of their hardship, we may give then a few extra days (not weeks) at a step in the process.There is some merit to Jeff's claim that he is doing the work of 5 people - but, it won't take 90 days to go through everything.
