My husband and I have other property investments but recently, we established an LLC to start doing fix and flips in Baltimore City/County/surrounding areas. Baltimore City has a massive vacant housing crisis (no surprise there!). However, the City initiated the "Buy Into Baltimore" open bid program (which we're interested in participating) through which you can bid/buy city-owned abandoned/vacant properties for redevelopment/resale.The problem is, there are so many blighted neighborhoods in Baltimore, it's tough to know where to start. Our goal is to help tackle this crisis by rehabilitating one unit/block at a time. Has anyone looked into this issue? How did you start? How did you decide which neighborhood/street/zip code to start with? What was your approach? Appreciate all your feedback.
