Thanks everyone for the replies. I think I'm going to look in Anne Arundel County as it seems to be a place more within my price range. The DC area is in the top five for places that Amazon is planning on building its second headquarters so PG County maybe a good area as well but the Amazon decision won't be reached until next year. 

Gabriel G. , can you send me your contact information as well? I'm looking for another rental possibly in Glen Burnie. Thanks.

Does anyone recommend buying rentals in Glen Burnie? The prices seem right on the houses that I've seen, but I'm not sure how strong the rental market is. If someone with experience in this area could chime in, I'd appreciate it.

Aaron,  I hadn't thought of Largo or Hyattsville. I will take a look. Thank you for the suggestion! 

Thanks  for the suggestion Russell.  Frederick is a little far for me but I would be interested in looking in Montgomery county. Are there any areas with in Montgomery county that you think are better than others? 

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to buy another rental property in Maryland.  I have 2 in Howard County, but HoCo is expensive and I haven't had much luck finding anything well priced.  I'd like to stick close to HoCo as that's where I live and I don't want to travel far to fix up then manage the property.  I'm not afraid of a fixer-upper and actually prefer that.  Does anyone with experience outside of HoCo have any suggestions?  I'd like to spend no more than $200K.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I am in the very beginning stages of negotiating for three adjacent lots in Howard County, MD for a new construction development. There is a new construction neighborhood on one side and these three lots are prime spaces to put about 12 to 18 houses on. The problem is that I have no experience doing this I was hoping that someone could guide me on my options here. I understand that I could buy the lot then wholesale them to a developer but I would really like to put some spec houses on them myself. However, I do not want to go in over my head. I currently have two rentals in Howard County and have never develop land so if someone could walk me through this process or even partner with me, I think this would make the most sense. If there is someone in Howard County area that I could speak with about this, I would really appreciate it. Or if there is someone that can give me general advice on buying lots, doing a teardown, and putting spec houses on them, I would also appreciate that. Thank you BP community!

As a lawyer, I disagree with giving the tenant a month worth of free rent. As soon as the tenant agreed that you could come on Friday, a new "agreement" was established. She could have said that she wanted the refrigerator that day and then if you did not comply with that, she would be due the month worth of rent. However, you asked her if you can come on Friday and she agreed, hence, she's out of luck.

I told them last month that I was only going to accept cash or certified funds and that is what they gave me yesterday for October. 

 Sorry for any confusion! 

Actually, they told me that they would have October's rent but that things would be hard for them in November and December so I was expecting full payment for October.
