Where to buy in Maryland for Buy and Holds?

[Sandra Holt]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to buy another rental property in Maryland.  I have 2 in Howard County, but HoCo is expensive and I haven't had much luck finding anything well priced.  I'd like to stick close to HoCo as that's where I live and I don't want to travel far to fix up then manage the property.  I'm not afraid of a fixer-upper and actually prefer that.  Does anyone with experience outside of HoCo have any suggestions?  I'd like to spend no more than $200K.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks everyone for the replies. I think I'm going to look in Anne Arundel County as it seems to be a place more within my price range. The DC area is in the top five for places that Amazon is planning on building its second headquarters so PG County maybe a good area as well but the Amazon decision won't be reached until next year.
