Thanks again.No, this is not my asset class - I prefer a higher quality product, in turn I can capture a higher quality resident/tenant - mitigate turnover and increase ROI :)

Recommend you connect & communicate with @Russell Brazil who knows a bit about the Baltimore market.In the meantime, read below about how nightmares often occur:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

I've previously invested in several real estate mentorships, but none have come close to the depth and quality of Subto's training. 

There are some solid advantages here: new construction typically means lower maintenance costs upfront, modern amenities that attract quality tenants, and potentially higher rental income.

I love the federal hill area in Providence, though it tends to be on the expensive side, but also reflects in the quality of tenant and rent that you can get.

The quality of modern lumber is simply far inferior to the quality of lumber they were using to build homes in the early and mid-20th century.

If you want to scale, particularly if you want to do so quickly, then I recommend you learn how to find a quality PM.

Also, I want to create an in-house store with Stayfi and The Host Co to sell themed merchandise and local vendor services.

Additionally, I think a new build would attract higher quality renters.

This is a high cost of living area, and in the neighborhood right now, I see a 3 BR of worse finish quality listed for $3k and a 4 BR that's about equal for $3900, both unfurnished with long term leases.
