@Andrew Ninnemann,

Thanks Andrew! I know it does sound silly to the majority of you guys. :) Can you address other two questions in the body?

Sorry, this can be deleted. Duplicate.

Hi there. I'm a newbie here and looking closely at Baltimore's market. Very promising at first glance. For those of you who recently purchased and rented out the property, how quickly you were able to place a tenant? What issues I might run into once I have my first property ready? Thank you for your time.

Why there won't be property management cost? Does rent include all utilities? Who is paying for landscaping?

Thank you so much Laura!

Thank you Jeremy! 

I appreciate all your responses. So fast and informative! I too was thinking about neighbouring tonws such as Christiansburg, but then how high the demand for rentals would be in those areas? I mean do kids travel 10+ miles to/from campus?

Hi BP folks! I am a newbie considering going into real estate, primarily with a goal to establish passive income. This is my first post here. I live in DC region, which is known to be a pricey one. Not much cash flow is happening here if consider to buy in this market. What I was thinking is to start with a 2-3 bdr condo in nearby college town (Blacksburg, VA). Already contacted RE agent in the area. Looks like I will need a very good credit score and a hefty down payment due to the nature of this purchase. Is there any downsides I need to be aware of with my plan? Thank you.
