[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't, but I have looked into it and decided against it. DC investment properties generally don't work on cash flow (prices are too high to get decent return on cash flow). They work on appreciation, which is a speculative play. Granted, [u]appreciation has been high enough over the last couple decades that owning investment properties would have been great[/u]. It might continue that way, and it might not. If I were to do it, I would not pick an area like Capitol Hill that is already gentrified and high prices. I would pick lower cost areas near metro stations and hope for good development. Eckington over Capitol Hill. Potomac Avenue. Anacostia.[/quote] +1 I was halfheartedly looking into this and coming up with no good ideas. But my FIL has a few in SE that he has told my DH we will get when he's gone -- he got in in the late 80s or early 90s so we'll just benefit from his smart maneuvering. [/quote]
