Not trying to be a dream killer but there is simply no money to be made in the D.C. no cash flow, no margins to flip, labor either to flip or just hold a property is insane, the money was made years ago, even going forward I see limited appreciation, investing is HARD everyone these days but to the extent there is money to be made you have to go to places that haven’t popped yet.

I recommend to my clients to use the SFH markets to generate short term income and wait to catch a 2 - 4 unit property and when they pop up throw those in the portfolio.

.- Many sellers of portfolios have been more moms and pops and smaller mom and pop owners are still bringing their smaller portfolios to market. - Current inventory we’re seeing is not coming from foreclosures.

If your focus on using your license is in property management, you should go to work for a mom and pop brokerage that has a property management wing, not the big box. eXp definitely does not allow property management.
