Helping people and being a positive influence in the community makes me feel happy at a fundamental and primal level.  

Although my company is not based in WA, we are both buyers and private lenders on lower $ ARV SFR properties throughout the U.S.Best of luck and continued success.

Not only getting it ready for the market, but long term, there will be issues with buildings fallen into disrepair and with lower class tenants and I don't know if I can get rid of everyone and get the whole place up to standard, so it will be in states.

@Michael Dunn Based on what you're saying, I think the most important item to research is how much of the areas with the lower priced properties are majority rental areas.

If you are focused on cash flow then I would lean toward the lower cost that need some work.

(Many gentryfyimg parts of DC are well beyond 2006 levels)Higher income areas with concentrations of wealth tend to carry less risk while lower and middle income areas carry more risk for significant drops in property values.

This loan lowered our payments significantly and almost doubled our previous principle payments while reducing our interest payment by more than half!

So as a persons net worth grows the desire to preserve the wealth with safer assets and lower cash on cash takes precedence over higher returns.Once you make it to where you never have to work again you do not want to lose all or most of it chasing anticipated high yield assets with too much risk.
