Where should I begin?

[Ryan Gilroy]

I plan on moving back to the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area beginning in 2017, and am not sure yet where the best place to move will be.  Because I can start wherever (as long as I can commute to D.C. ) I would like to live in the the area where I am investing.  Any suggestions on where it might be easiest or best to begin?  I know this is a very general question but I am really just looking on some advice to point me in a direction for me to then do my own research.  

Thank You!
