What investment strategies work in Rockville and Montgomery County?

Montgomery County has close-in federal and private employment, Red Line Metro access, and the I-270 corridor. A few approaches I see work:

Buy-and-hold single family: I'll walk you through the numbers ZIP by ZIP, from a $557,572 median in 20851 to $699,500 in 20850 (Bright MLS)
Value-add fixers in established neighborhoods, where targeted work creates outsized value
Rentals near Metro, around the Twinbrook, Rockville, and Shady Grove stations
ADU potential: basements or detached units in commuter corridors

What did one investment purchase return?

A buyer of mine bought at $1,760,000, $65,000 under asking. Eighteen months later the home sold for $1,970,000, a 12% return on the purchase price.
