I work as an acquisitions associate with BPG Holdings, a local real estate investment fund in Alexandria, and also work as a realtor for our fund's brokerage team, assisting clients with investment properties in the D.C. metro area.I've recently created a series of reports focused on the city of Alexandria and its sub-market development prospects, which I believe alongside other macro trends will make the city an amazing buy-and-hold investment for real estate investors.

P.S; We live in Wilmington NC so both markets would be "long distance" P.S.P.S there are no reasonably priced multi family properties local to us.
