I am not in the flipping market but I handle multifamily transactions for buyers and sellers who are very transactional.

All indications here are of a pretty healthy market. 

For context, downtown Alexandria performs super well as a rental market and bringing in $5.5k+ as the monthly rental income if you choose to move out of the househack in the future will be absolutely feasible (depending on the property of course).

You can arguably make it work in any market.
