What property should I purchase if I’m not sure how long I’ll be in D.C.?
Great question! If you are looking at real estate as an investment – two great property types to look at would be a smaller row home and also a row home that has an English basement.
Some property types that you might want to stay away from would be a condo or a co-op unit. Let’s take a look at why these properties would be good and bad: Smaller Row Home Row homes are a great investment for many reasons.
You can often find smaller two-bedroom row homes in the same price point as those of a two-bedroom condo, which might be seen as a “condo alternative” and afford you much more freedom.
There are no condo associations or home owner associations that you must belong to so this keeps your monthly carrying costs on the lower end and you are allowed to make more independent decisions.
