This sounds like gang activity.  If they targeted the brother they will target all the family members.  I would give your respects and ask if she would like to move.  Offer her a mutual termination so she can get out of there.  You may want to share the story with the case worker who could suggest she port to a different market.

I had a similar situation, but not nearly as bad as yours.  A 13 year old boy was accidentally shot in a drive-by gang shooting almost right in front of our house.  We literally have shootings every single day but for some reason this one was all over the new - I think because the victim was innocent and because he was so young.  My tenant was interviewed on the news, and just shared what a nice kid he was, and what a shame it was that this has happened. The next day our house was shot up. In our case, the tenant stayed, and we haven’t had any more drama on the street.  It’s not the only house we have had shot up though.  

Gangs are bad news. We steer as clear of them as we can.

 Wow,that is horrible..Baltimore city desperately needs a "Rudy Giuliani" type mayor who isn't scared to seriously go after the gangs and really clean up the war zone neighborhoods, I guarantee that the property values would skyrocket in these area..

We are glad you were looking at Carrot  and would be pumped to work with you! 

At the end of the day it comes down to results, ROI, and the experience you'll get working with us.

 Check around at most of the successful wholesalers and flippers and you will find most are using Carrot. For a variety of reasons.  The level of support our team provides is one, the Innovacion we have on performance and conversion rate is the biggest, and you won’t find a better system for SEO or conversion rate optimization. 

 There definitely are cheaper options out there, but just like anything when you go cheaper you have to give up things along the way, and one lost deal from under performance equals $10,000, to $30,000 or more.  many people look at saving a few bucks on the monthly payment but after moving over to carrots realize how much money they likely lost with their other website from under formants and in time wasted . 

Hit me up if you have any specific questions! We’re here for you! 

Thank you Trevor..Im def leaning towards Carrot . Ive spoken to people about it and they all pointed me towards it

Hi,

How would I actually pull probate dockets? Thank you!

I went to the Baltimore county courthouse today on different peoples suggestions to get lists of probate and tax liens properties etc..And they said they "don't do that" that Baltimore county doesnt give out lists, and then she told me to try Baltimore City,so I called them and they told me the same thing! Am I doing something wrong? Asking for the wrong thing? Any insight is greatly appreciated! Ty

Looking for advice. I’m relatively new to all forms of Real Estate investing and I’ve been considering many strategies. My eventual goal is to be primarily focused within the world of Rental Properties. That being said, I’m 23 and working to make/save enough to purchase my first property and get the ball rolling. As of right now I’m saving money slowly but at the same time paying off debt from college etc.... Recently, I came across the idea of Wholesaling and initially thought it would be a great idea to generate a larger lump sum so I could begin investing in rental properties much sooner! Is this a good idea? I’m currently located in Southeast Alabama. Any thoughts and advise would be greatly appreciated!
 

Welcome! Yes it is a good idea, this is what most people do coming into real estate with little money.,An essential tool is to go to REIA's in your area, these are real estate meetups, where you can meet alot of investors and learn alot about RE as well.. Also listen to Jerryll's comment above, he knows what hes talking about!
