I recommend to continue getting active on the forums, but also taking the time to listen to some podcast episodes, I am pretty sure they hit on tips for finding your first deal.I am also in the middle of reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing" and it has some good stuff in it that I hadn't picked up on over the past few years of self-education.

Some neighborhoods of DC actually went up in value during the housing collapse including Shaw, Petworth, Brightwood, Trinidad.A much more likely scenario than a market correction is prices continue to appreciate, and interest rates continue to rise.

I am over-ambitious and know that in the past I have thrown myself into the deep end of projects, so I am working to try and educate myself a bit more and build out my resources - any advice is greatly appreciated!
