@Molly Paprota You will get lots of opinions on this.

. :)@Chris Wilburn ok so you are going to have to really research this, hard.If you are anywhere near a municipality, having multiple tents setup in a yard as "glamping" will most likely run afoul of zoning and really bring the ire of neighbors.What I might do is look out near Bend maybe.

Leasing a unit with W/D access is significantly more valuable to tenants than those that require the use of a common laundry or laundromat. 

This will get you in a 30-year term loan with a lower rate and you can usually get 75-80% as long as the property is cash flowing although I'd recommend going with 75% to make sure you keep equity as well as lock in with a good rate.

This will help you out when you don't know who to call.

You might also be in an income bracket that makes you an "Accredited Investor" This allows you to invests in larger private deals others don't have access to. 

My question is should I invest in DC this December while on leave for 25 days?

Don't have all the details worked out yet, but I've heard it's a great wealth-builder strategy and a great way to build more capital for the next investment.
