Multi-family investment neighborhoods in Baltimore

[Gina Casbarro]

Hi! I'm brand new to the Bigger Pockets forums and to real estate investing. My first goal is to purchase a multi-family between 2-4 units, live in one and rent the rest - ideally off-setting most or all of my mortgage costs. Willing to do some renovations and don't want to have to do a complete overhaul the first time. 

Some of the neighborhoods I'm considering are: Lauraville, Hamilton, Beverly Hills, Chinquapin Park, Parkville or Overlea. 

Reaching out to see if anyone familiar with the Baltimore area has recommendations of other neighborhoods I should consider? 

I look forward to connecting with you!

Thank you everyone! Yes, that was what I was finding - hadn't found anything where the price made sense and thought the market might drop off in 6 months or so. 

Tim - was thinking the same thing as far as choosing a neighborhood that would have more rent appeal / close to more amenities etc so switching up my search a bit. 

Still going to keep looking and going to see if I can stay in my temporary residence long enough to wait out the market a bit. 

Again really appreciate all of your insight!!!
