     Hyattsville, Riverdale, Mt Ranier, Suitland, Ft Washington.

    Brightwood, Petworth, Trinidad, Deanwood, Anacostia, Riggs Park, Eckington, Bloomingdale, 16th St Heights, Columbia Heights.

    You will need a gross margin, difference between acquisition price and ARV, of about $250k in DC, and $225k in PG county assuming a light to moderate rehab. Heavier rehabs will need a larger gross margin.

    Most people currently are needing to use an ARV that is projected for when rehab is complete. Using an ARV based on already closed comps wont really work in this market since everyone is using a projection and paying acquisition prices based on projected ARV.

     Most of the metro area is pretty good.  Most of my rentals are in the Georgia Ave Corridor in DC and Silver Spring which I like quite a bit, easy rentalbility.
