Quote from @Sara C.:

Any connections for those investing in D neighborhoods in Southeast area such as congress heights. Are there any groups or property managers. I am interested in meeting others who are in this area. 


 SE DC is a little bit of a niche market in DC and the DMV as a whole. We should talk though. I'm doing business there all the time. 


 Let me know if you're open to making more connections. There are definitely ways to make money in SE, and i'm actively trying to pursue new opportunities.
