The Report emphasizes that right now is the time to work for a more sustainable city and creative designs can help do that better.

Its not emphasized enough on here the importance of proper and full seasoning of at least 6 months.  

Maybe ask the selling agent to emphasize the advantage of owner occupancy: having a tenant pay a hunk of the mortgage is amazing.

While that may seem like a silly questions, it seems like a strategy that is often emphasized without any great detail into the risk.

With how competitive it is here in Maryland, and it seems how most markets are, our niche seems to be highly  distressed, damaged, dilapidated buildings which most people pass up.Wanted to emphasize to anyone else out there getting into these that it's all about having the right people around you- contractors, inspectors, lenders, local legislators, property managers, attorneys, title companies, and for Maryland having someone that is a lead inspector is huge and make sure they are experienced!

Does anyone have sources for market research they find more reliable, or any types of specific data that I should study and emphasize before considering and investment?
