Another factor is that if the water bill doesn't get paid the house goes up for a tax lien sale pretty quick, so a lot of landlords in Baltimore keep the water in their name whether or not they pass the actual cost on to the tenant.  

Try the harp program, it's designed for situations just like this, and from what I understand of it, can remove negative equity based on what other properties are valued at on the appraisal.The key factor is, you need to refi the home before you rent it out, as the benefits reduce for non-owner occupied properties to the point it may not be worth it.That said, I found myself in a similar situation 2 years ago, living in a 3/2 in a nice area that was growing too small for my family.

spent a lot of time thinking about this and came up with a few ideas..[ ] 100 stamps[ ] Upgrade a fixture in the house[ ] Paint one room of the house, any color but black. [ ] One time 10% percent rent reduction[ ] Babysitting (you have to make all arrangements, up to $35)[ ] 4 Movie tickets[ ] $30 Amazon gift card[ ] A box of mail order item like "nuts/baklava/oranges/etc"[ ] 1 Cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory[ ] House cleaning coupon ~ $50

So here's my question: There's a new outdoor shopping center with stores like The Gap, Nike Factory Outlet, etc set to be built close to me. 

There seems to be some industrial factory investment just starting recently as well.

In my opinion, the neighborhood has that right mixture of ugly houses compared with the "that price in this neighborhood" factor. I
