@Dominique B. This is impressive!! Love your Momentum

What books on Section 8 do you recommend that new landlord should read?

@Jackson Simison FHA loan best option for you. I recommend you join Maryland Investor and Real Estate group so you learn and network with other before you begin.

@Sarafina S. Canton and Fells Point is good area to invest. It’s tricky right now because a lot of tenants are not paying rent. You can always do Section 8 and so at least you get majority of your rent paid.

@Seth Hochberg Fells Point and Canton area is good area to start with. Nice properties.

Take you time researching Baltimore. Neighborhood environment changes block by block.

@Brad Fallon your numbers seem right. Maybe Vacancy could be reduced to 5% especially if get Section 8 tenants. And 8% is average property management quote I have received.

@Mark Caudill very nice rehab progress and pictures are great!

If you don’t mind, could you share your kitchen and bathroom contact details. I’m looking to build one for my property as well.

@Pablo Simmonds thank you for posting this. I’m glad it worked out well for you. I’m worried about squatters issue since my property is currently vacant.

Which attorney did you end up going with?

@Gayle Melnick this is amazing work you did. I’m very impressed.

I’m purchasing a row house in Baltimore City. Currently, it’s listed zoned R-6: “Low density rowhouse neighborhoods. Landscaped front yards, setback buildings.Accommodates detached and semi-detached dwellings, rowhouse developments and multi- family developments. Limited non-residential uses.”

I want to convert the basement unit as a separate unit, with proper bed, bath, kitchen, and separate meter.

Do I need get a zoning permit to build another unit? I know I’ll permit for bathroom, bedroom, kitchen etc but I wanted to make sure about zoning permit.

Thank you
