I would also add to connect with investor friendly agents who are ALSO investors as they typically have an eye out for good vs bad deals and already have the connections, especially when it comes to lenders.

Northern Virginia is a solid market with a lot of potential for both appreciation and cash flow, especially if you're strategic about timing and location.As an accountant, you've already got a strong foundation to evaluate deals with a sharp eye for the numbers.
