Absolutely.  

It would have worked and would have been a welcomed option if none others existed but I was fortunate enough to come up with a different - and much less expensive - solution.If you do use hard money be absolutely certain you have multiple exit strategies so you can get out quickly if need be - either by refinancing conventionally or selling and moving on.

It's probably that they are buying "junk", not because they are meaning to but because most people have absolutely no idea what numbers to run on a rental property to determine whether it's worth it or not. 

Couple that with the fact that the highest and best use of the multifmailies that we do have in DC proper is as condos,....as they are converted into condos that further exasperates the possible supply of multis.So it is absolutely possibly to buy a multi here, but you would need to be realistic on your price.
