Newish to the form from Baltimore and already a landlady

[Gina Smith]

Gina here. Long time lurker, first time poster.  My background is that I stumbled into being a landlady back in April of 2016 when all I wanted to do was buy a single family house with cash that I saved from living with my parents (they made the best roommates, guess I was house hacking and didn’t know it) for 14 years post college. CPA by profession.

I don’t really have any questions right now unless you happen to know exactly when the market will cool down as I am ready to buy another rental but not willing to overspend (no mortgages). I’ve lived in the Baltimore area all my life and I know a good deal.

Looking to contribute the little knowledge that I’ve acquired over my 3 years of being a landlady. Also I’m pretty familiar with the huge amount of paper work for transferring a “section 8” rental from one landlord to another in Baltimore City. (Lead Certificate is a must if older home!)
