Sorry for the late response been super busy and rarely have time to open emails

Hello Rachel,

My outcome was a total of $5300.00 out pocket. I had to give that concession or pay close to 25,000.00 in legal fees only to receive a favorable judgement. First, do not let allow their inspectors inside your property without your consent. Second , have LEADTEC -Susan Kleinhammer's team come out and perform an x-ray test on your property to find out if there is lead on the premises. If there are findings of said lead they will let you know where lead is present and you will need to abate it/ contain it. Once you do this your house will be registered as lead free. Then when you allow the Plantiffs attorney's inspectors to do their test it will be inconclusive. Thus, no basis for the complaint against you. Its really all about them trying to get insurance money that was set aside by older insurance companies. Newer insurance companies do not even have or cover lead in their policies. The lawyers are not really coming after you but in the event your insurance. Main thing , do not allow them in your propertyuntil you know what's going on with your property because a lot of these cases are baseless that's why they list so many defendants because they're hoping someone isn't diligent and they'll pay for it

Thank you Beth

thanks, I believe they maybe squatters. Any idea on how to evict them especially if you don’t have a name. This is the kind of stuff that makes me feel like I shouldn’t be trying to buy property 

Hello to all,

I’m having issues trying to purchase an investment property, every one that I’m interested in is always occupied when I read the listing. It’s confusing for me because does this mean that after I acquire title to the property that I now have to worry about eviction or am I reading into this incorrectly.

Thanks for any assistance, the properties are located in Baltimore Maryland 

Does anyone have attorney recommendations for this. I have used Stonegate Title company in the past may use the again 

Thanks for your assistance Ned.

Does anyone know the process for transferring properties in Baltimore. My father wants to help me achieve my goals and is willing to give me a rental property to start my portfolio with. I have purchased a Baltimore City property and I have rehabbed 4 properties with my Father but I'm clueless about transferring or inheriting property. Any insight would be a big help, it would allow my to use the equity to get more property to help stream some passive income.

Thank you Jbeard, the property is free and clear.

I've used Stonegate Title on two transactions but they were the sellers title company.

Thanks Eric H
