Hyattsville new construction

[Rachael Derrenbacher]

I am a first time homebuyer looking to house hack in the DC metro area. I’ve been told that Hyattsville is up and coming. I am interested in putting an offer on a new construction. 3 bedroom 3 full bath 2 half bath. It is walking distance to University Town center. What do we think of Hyattsville? Will it really up and come? And is this a good place to house hack? 

I will need the rent to pay my mortgage. Thanks!

 Hyattsville is appreciating quickly. Good location. Solid tenant base.

Down side is the PG County Council just implemented pretty harsh rent control.
