UT Reader Asks: Should You Buy If You Are Going to Leave DC and Rent Your Home?

In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader wants to know if it makes sense to buy a unit in central DC when he knows that he will likely leave the city.
I'm considering buying a one-bedroom condo in Dupont. I will likely not stay in DC forever, but I'd like to hold onto the unit indefinitely. I've heard conflicting advice about whether buying a place with the expectation of renting it out from afar is actually a good or viable idea. What do UT readers think? Is anyone doing this successfully?
