Homes in Brightwood
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a first-time buyer with a budget of around $250,000 asks the UrbanTurf audience the eternal question: Where should I buy?
I’m looking for my first place in the DC area. I am one year out of college, work in finance, and currently live in Bethesda. I have been pre-approved for around $250,000, but will only be able to put up a small down payment. I’m looking to go the FHA route, and primarily looking at condos, ideally two-bedroom/two-bath listings with lowish condo fees, so that I could rent out one of the rooms. I work in Bethesda, but have a car, so I don’t need to be right near a Metro. I’m single so I am willing to buy in a place not quite there yet (SW Waterfront, Brightwood, etc). Like most buyers these days, the biggest thing that I am looking for is long-term investment potential. I don’t mind growing with an area. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
