Thank you all for the info, much appreciated. I'm just starting out, so I'm looking for near rent ready properties in the $50-$120k range. I'm open to Sec8, I have a 2 unit currently that one of the tenants is Sec8. I'm in it for the cashflow, appreciation isn't a huge driver for me at the moment.
@Ned Carey Thanks for the info, I'm actually looking at one property in that area. I'm a bit hesitant due to the location, however, your thread has given some added assurance.
@Eric G. Thank you for the elaboration and info. When you say east side of town, which areas are specifically referring too? I'm born and raised Baltimore, I feel that I know the areas pretty well. However, being new to RE investing, I'm working to get a better insight on the best/worst rental areas in this market. I try to purchase near rent ready properties in the $50-$120k range and shoot for as close to the 2% rule as possible when it comes to monthly rents.
