Rental property in Maryland

[Anthony Triano]

My wife and I are looking to move to Maryland in the upcoming years. We know we will be there for a few years but not forever. The area I will be working is Camp David. I plan on buying a home to live in but eventually become a rental property when we leave. I’ve never bought a home before and have basic knowledge of the rental business after reading a few books and speaking with realtors.

My question is, what is a good place in the surrounding areas that you could suggest? 1) for living and 2) for renting later.

I’ve been looking at Frederick, Hagerstown, and Thurmont as well as even Waynesboro to travel across state lines depending on taxes and overall costs.

Our key features are, schools of course, quality of life, things to do, as well as statistical data for appreciation and rent/own ratio.

Thank you all in advance and I look forward to the future!
