Need opinions on an area in Baltimore City

[Jeffrey Goers]

Hi folks I have the opportunity to pick up a couple turnkey rehabs - two 3BR units in a building side by side.  They are near the intersection of Denison Street and Gwynns Falls Pkwy.  Any opinions on that area for both rental and resale appeal?  I am a buy and hold rental investor in Baltimore City but I dont know the local neighborhoods that well as I live out of town.  I rent my units section 8 - but I like to buy in areas that have a reasonable percentage of owner-occupiers and that will have resale appeal some day to owner-occupiers as well.

thanks jeff

This is a C- neighborhood. Certainly not a resale area. If your turnkey is lead free, rented for $1000 month and your purchase price is less than $50,000 it is OK. Anything more and you are overpaying. You can certainly do better in terms of location and price.
