Life Swap: What If You Left New York?

No matter how bad the economy gets, or who’s in power, lobbying and consulting money inevitably keeps flooding into Washington. So if you, a New Yorker with extensive connections in your field, are looking to cash in, relocating to the District has promise—and also an entire Beaux Arts rowhouse in prime Georgetown for the cost of a two-bedroom here. The house has a duplex and an in-law suite, which together bring in about $5,000 a month in rent.
