Very few agents in DC have actual multifamily experience.

The listings were both with the same realtor and she has agreed to represent me as the buyers agent as well. 

Hey Chris, I am an agent and investor in the area and would be happy to connect and see how we can help each other out. reach out anytime...

Our friend and real estate agent, instrumental in this acquisition, recommends a family interested in a month-to-month rental of the vacant unit, beginning shortly after closing.

Something that would grab my interest, even I'm a real estate agent, is the agent who prepped a CMA for my house and list the houses sold in my neighborhood recently.

Since I am not a real estate agent, I couldn't use the asset depreciation (QBI) as this is considered a passive income (or net loss in my case). 

All the resources you need are 100% free between the internet, agents and lenders that will all be more than happy to help and answer any questions for you.3.

I had a meeting with an agent/investor I’ve known from my kids school and he had an interesting proposal but I wanted to see what others thought.

I'm a local central Houston agent, investor and developer.

My recommendation would be speaking with a local agent/property manager who has personal experience with investing in San Diego real estate and can complete a property analysis for you to determine current value, highest and best-use, and what your options are.
