Agree that it is increasingly hard to justify investing in DC rental real estate. You could take a chance on changing neighborhoods in Capitol Hill, Columbia Heights or in Prince George's County. Though I'm a liberal on most issues, I've really gotten to hate rent control through my experiences in DC. I tried to buy an affordable housing complex in Columbia Heights and found it so daunting I gave up. It's a system that is so complicated to figure out and get funding for it, it just scares investors away. The housing stock in DC would be so much better without rent control.
