Metro, and the expected spike in rent growth in the D.C. metro over the next few yearsSummary:After analyzing the data outlined below, I believe that investing in a value-add, multifamily property today has very strong potential for success.

Regardless of how a certain asset class is doing, an investor like yourself can ALWAYS find a good deal in any type of property.Now, my general suggestion for all of my CFO clients is the gradually move up the unit spectrum/asset type as you build up your portfolio.

But, they will be in challenging parts of town where realistically you do not want to own property and your long-run returns will under-perform.I'd encourage you to find a balance of sub-market growth, nearby employment, strong income, and only then a good rent-to-value ratio. 

I encourage you to define your financial goals, as real estate presents numerous possibilities.Building a strong foundation of knowledge and connections can significantly impact your success in real estate investing.

Quote from @Jeff Roth: Hi Lina from Texas-Congratulations on your interest in investing in mid-term rentals and you are wondering how and where to get started.I get this question frequently from investors.Sometimes and investor is looking to keep their property cashflow positive as insurance and taxes have squeezed cashflow by turning units into mid-term or short-term rentals.First off, ideally, the property will cashflow as a long-term rental should something disrupt the mid-term rental model.You will also want to have the property be near where there would be a demand for mid-term rentals (hospitals, universities, research centers).Monthly rents for mid-term rentals are about 20% (+/-) higher than unfurnished similar long-term rentals.There are property managers that will manage mid-term rentals for you and I always advise my clients to use property managers to keep their investment as passive as possible and for compliance issues related to Fair Housing Laws and local regulations.To Your Success!

Unfortunately, we get too many calls from clients that got the run around, poor communication and service and/or were the victims of a "bait and switch".
