Washington

As you might have imagined, the D.C. market relies a great deal on the government. Most of the city’s population is employed by the government. When the job market is good, the population is up, and the number of renters increase exponentially. There have been less government jobs the past few years but the job market in D.C. is still one of the strongest in the country.

Investing in Washington, D.C. real estate also means putting your property in front of the many students renting off-campus housing. There are several major universities in D.C. and many students stay in the city to intern in hopes of getting a government job, extending their need for rental properties.

Rents are high in D.C., making it a landlord’s market. It’s also an Airbnb host’s market with the city receiving a lot of tourism - not only to landmarks but to many national conventions and events.
