I'm sure it has not been easy.This post struck me as I just finished reading about 5 months ago a book which said something to the effect of- "If you come to me and ask me how to invest 500k I'll tell you to go invest in yourself first"Real-estate isn't as simple as dropping cash in a bucket and watching it grow, it's very intricate.

I’m not sure how simple or how intricate it should be, I’m not even sure what it looks like.

If you're going to come down to the DC market,I'd suggest you look for more dynamic areas, closer to employment base.
