i used to live in the DC area and still own a property in Arlington.i know the numbers on paper look great in a place like Huntsville, but we see a lot of folks in the forums in markets like DC or CA, who buy a random property in AL or OH or KS, and then immediately struggle because they didn't vet it properly, or didn't realize it wasn't in as great a neighborhood as they thought, or even buy an OK property, but then make $32.50 a month in 'cash flow,' and are disappointed in their return.so, i know you asked about huntsville, but i'd encourage you to think about picking a suburb or exurb of DC and really invest some time in it - maybe hagerstown or fredericksburg or winchester, or any place you're interested in within 2 hours with a lower price point than DC.
