With a large portion of the incoming migration coming from international residents moving to the District, emphasizing improving and bringing back Washington D.C. sports teams to the city should create a strong desire for domestic residents to want to live near a fun, community engaging activity that is very relevant to those that live in and around the city.The District also has other programs it is running to make the District more attractive to live in outside of just working in the area, such as the Office to Anything program (Source) and the Housing in Downtown program (Source) which will incentivize developer through tax credits to convert office buildings into new construction housing and new construction retail properties, which should continue to attract more residents back to the area.D.C. also understands that with all of these big changes we have seen, the strategy and allocation of resources from the government moving forward should be reassessed to create a city that is adapting to the future trends to remain a safe and desirable place for residents to live.

Do I just have to go by the actual numbers like revenue from last owner and taxes?

The big advantage is having the capital gains spread out over many years to avoid a huge tax bill.

@Rebecca GonaBigger Pockets is a great place to find a tax accountant that specializes in short-term rentals. 

So we GAIN 7million + tax payors etc.. 

although we bought about 6 years ago or so for 270 put 100k into it so you can do the math  no debt .. hoa 400  we pay utls. 200 or so.. so 600 a month out of the 3500.. tax's about 1500 a year ( got to love Vegas taxs ) value today right at 600k.. so lets say we net about 33k a year on 370k cash .. so not bad little under 10% COC with an outstanding tenant one of the best I have ever had.PS given tenant quality we manage ourselves.. 

One thing to take into consideration would be the overhead costs of being a cross-border investor, such as entity setup, property management, higher lending rates and tax filing should you choose to have a CPA.

This appears to be a 'transfer tax' instead of an income tax.

. - Taxes are on the higher side at $6,000 yearMy Numbers: $115,000 putting 20% of my money $23,000 and finance the rest with total expense of $1,834Monthly expense numbers: Future Maintenance 13% $273 - Vacancy 5% $105 - Property Insurance 5% $105 - Property Taxes 23% $500 - Property management 10% $215 - Office/Travel/Legal 4% $84 - Mortgage 26% $552 - Monthly Cash Flow - $316 per month or $3,792 per year so Cash on Cash = 17%I think this looks like it is a deal worth doing and I also believe I can bump the total rent up by $50 each tenant which I think make it even better.
