The future of the neighborhood is to be the next Williamsburg in my opinion :)Bedstuy has some super grungy areas, and some really beautiful quiet historic tree lined streets.

They did such a beautiful job with that piece of property.

I bought this beautiful SFH (for myself) across the park from my kid's elementary school but was still able to make a basement rental unit the entire time I lived there, covering most of the mortgage on the property.

@Steve Smith - ADU = Accessory Dwelling Unit (aka Mother-in-law unit)

Purchase price: $170,000 Cash invested: $17,000 Our 3rd investment, a single-family home turned duplex by converting its defunct car garage into a beautiful studio apartment!

That's the beauty of the REI world: lone wolf or pack mentality, there is a lane for you. 

Most legal multifamilies will be in DC proper, and typically in Columbia Heights, Capitol Hill, Trinidad, Deanwood, Anacostia, with a few other scattered through the other neighborhoods.Properties that have, or could have an ADU, Accessory Dwelling Unit can be an option as well.And the most popular strategy for house hacking in the area is the rent by the room strategy.

BEAUTIFUL!!!

That part of the country is certainly very beautiful and close enough to large cities to have a vibrant economic engine.

As long as you take action. all of a sudden you will realize you are obsessed and you a portfolio of 10+ homes and it's beautiful!
