Quote from @Michael Beirne: Hi everyone,Some business partners of mine are looking into BRRRRing in the Baltimore market and are looking to find a GC, agent, property manager and an attorney that could help us affordably close on properties.  

I see why they say, never go into business with family.

I've picked up several really good deals because a tenant operator ran the business into the ground to a point where the property owners just wanted or needed out. 

According to the Planning Board, the intent of the RM-2 Zone is to create, maintain, and enhance residential areas characterized by a mix of single family homes, duplexes, townhouses, small multi-unit buildings, and neighborhood businesses where appropriate.I'm assuming by definition I am zoned to convert to a triplex?

But I really see this as just business-  I want the best market I can get into. 

RE is really a small business and the number 1 reason that small business's fail is lack of proper capitalization..

One thing to consider is that in terms of wealth building and Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, owing a rental and doing work yourself is putting you in the self-employed quadrant, not Business Owner or Investor.I think there are a lot of factors stacked against California for long term rentals, and I think you know it too! 

I currently have a lawn care business that I run myself.   

yes, its a people business.

You're a business owner now nothing wrong with that.
