Anything built before the 70s will most likely have issues with plumbing or electrical, and roofs last about 20 years, and should be permitted most the time on county websites. 

At this same property, there is a house sitter that had a lot of police activity (domestic violence, weapons discharged, etc).

I contacted the city of Edmonton and was informed that moving a mobile home is treated the same as building a new home, and all the following applies:Development Permit ApplicationCombined Building, Mechanical PermitBuilding & Mech Safety CodesWiring Electrical PermitUnderground Service Cable PermitElectrical Safety CodesConstruction Water Rates 44¢/$1000 Construction Value Sanitary Sewer Trunk ChargeLot Grading FeeTo my knowledge, unlike a new home, all we would be doing is reconnecting the infrastructure, and considering that no modifications are to be made to the existing plumbing, electrical, sewer or the lot itself, so do all those permits apply? 

I will say, the property my wife and I bought was very appealing because the previous owners had a new electric system, new plumbing, and new roofing.

Hello,We recently purchased a rental property and created a domestic limited liability LLC (two members - my spouse and I).

To be honest I would spend more money and get my 1% on North of Baltimore.You should be able to get more than 1% around 21213.FYI, Baltimore in general housing stock is old, when you do moderate renovation like paint, vanity change, new carpet etc... you will definitely have plumbing issues along the way.I would strictly do section 8 in 21213, you can end up in eviction court pretty often othewise.

100/sqft on a full gut sounds about right - This includes new roof, siding, windowns, electrical, framing, etc - basically everything besides foundation and structureFor a more cosmetic rehab with minimal expenses and alterations to electrical, plumbing, etc you are looking close to 50-60sqftFeel free to reach out anytime and I'd be happy to see your numbers and the project. 

remember your first home is not your forever home, it's your first rental so it doesn't need to be everything you want.look for homes where the bones are good, but cosmetically needs love. don't by pre 1960 if you can help it. you'll end up just having to replace all the guts like plumbing and electrical at some point. it's inevitable. look in areas where the path of growth is headed, but might not be currently. think 5 years out. look for resources like your local chamber of commerce to see what businesses are coming in and where. your city planning office should also be on your call list as they can help show where most permits are being pulled for development. follow the money. go to local investing meetups. crowdsource local knowledge and form meaningful relationships. those who've gone before you typically will help out and help you avoid the mistakes they've already made. onward.

Please pay special attention to plumbing and electrical.Enough threads on BP on pros and cons of turnkey buying.

However, I ended up getting a property that needed a new roof, water and sewer main, new electrical, and some plumbing work.
