Are there any good areas to purchase a rental in Baltimore, MD?

[Christine Gee]

I am in San Diego, and looking to invest somewhere that cashflows. My investment partner has a son that attends Johns Hopkins, and I know nothing about the area. Does anyone have any insight on a good area? Also, the houses look older, so I am concerned about plumbing, foundations, electrical and roofing. Am I missing anything?

Thanks for any help!
