Actually I should have said a reputable or trusted realtor or two or three.

I told him eventually I'd like to explore portfolio loan once I get a few more properties and he acted like we should be able to figure something out.

I'm born and raised in the Portland, OR area and am interested in exploring single and multi-family investment properties.

@Nefertari McClarity Fasttrack remodeling has an excellent reputation for both quality and speed.

keep looking. i'd connect with some of the reputable guys from farther down South.

@Michael Stange so is there any reputable turnkey companies ?

To that end, can anyone please send me contact info or put me in contact with a reputable commercial broker(s) and/or property manager(s) in Washington, D.C.?

Have you explored any other markets than the two you mentioned? 

Most of the poor reputation LOs have is probably because a lot of landlords do them on their crappy properties that they can't attract good tenants for, imagining that somehow an option is a magic bullet to make the tenant a better one.

You can always explore other areas of real estate later, but get good at one thing to start.
