Another market, Pierce County, WA (Oly, Tacoma, etc), for example, is considered "very hot."

My name is Sean and I'm from Spokane, Wa.

I’m currently in my mid twenties from Washington state currently residing in DC area, Virginia to be specific.

They are both around 20 units in DC.

Buildings are located in Sumner, WA (Tacoma area).The buildings were built in 1948, are masonry block construction and originally had a flat torch down roof.

I am in the same boat as you - we own/manage one duplex in Vancouver, WA and are trying to get a new tenant in for March 1st or earlier.

We now live in CA, so we don't have a great grasp of the current DC market.  

I’m investing out of state since I live in Washington, DC and the price to rent ratio is really low; hence my focus on Florida where there seems to be a lot more opportunity.Since this is my first investment property, I'm debating between keeping it simple and buying a turnkey property that will help me learn the ropes or taking a bit more risk and doing a BRRR.So wanted to reach out to this amazing and helpful community to see if you'd have suggestions, resources or advice that you've worked with before based in the Tampa or surrounding areas?

I feel in my gut I could have gone about this a better way and could use some input.I recently pulled out all of my money from my traditional IRA to put towards a down payment for a duplex my wife and I are buying in DC in 2 weeksNeedless to say, it is now considered taxable income with the likelihood of incurring the 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Id imagibe it could be a great place to house hack with its proximity to DC, and Id definitely say house hacking is the easiest way to get started since you can get in with very little money down.
