Starting out from Washington, DC / Arlington, VA
Hi all! My name's Andrew, I'm 29, and an architect in Washington, DC. I've been feasting through all the REI info I can find (friends, podcasts, books, etc). I'm starting out from DC, but have learned the high capitol bar to enter into this market as a buy and hold investor.
I'd love to be able to narrow in on a market within an hour or so of where I live (Arlington, VA) that has an entry bar appropriate for someone new. Some place that actually has a price:rent ratio that is lower than DC. Or, should I just focus on some far-away market because this area is so expensive? Looking forward to hearing from you all!
Best,Andrew
