Househacking in Baltimore County for 400K for a 3/2 or 4/3

[Yasmin Mughal]

I've decided on Baltimore County to begin my househacking journey. I used to live in the city and the taxes and water bills are nightmares. I'm not that familiar with the county and most well rehabbed properties are coming up in Dundalk and Essex.

I used to live in Patterson Park and those areas were considered problematic. I like Dundalk because of it's location (easy to get south and 20 minutes away from shopping areas.

Any advice on this area? Will I be able to overcome it's reputation in getting mid term renters? Any other areas you'd consider?
