People who can afford a property like that will buy a home themselves instead of renting(majority of the time).

The rehab took 5 months and I did 90% of the work myself, saving $30k but losing a lot of time.

Those should not need attention (in a perfect world) for some time. 

@Jason Dubon I take the cost of all appliances and divide it by 5 (avg lifetime of appliances these days) to estimate annual cost of appliance replacements.

I would suggest starting with reading the IRC book all the way through multiple times.

Really expedites the time it takes to reach FI when you can completely eliminate your housing payment and get into multis for such little down and start building equity/cash flow with each one.

Is now a good time to get into the DC market?

However, there’s a due-on-sale clause risk, so proceed carefully.A lease option (rent-to-own) could also work if you need time to qualify for a mortgage later.

Your painters will save tons of time from having to cut in walls and tape off trim.

I would give it some time for lenders to catch up on this type of property.
