If it is an older home in the "Rose District" and has a crawl space, I'd probably find a GC to take a look to lift and shim as needed.

From your personal standpoint, if you were in my shoes, a new investor living in Baltimore, how would you invest those funds?

It has not all been a bed of roses.

@Jamie Rose Good to know, I'm going to take another look. 

I’ve listened to many podcast, read many articles and I want to know everyone’s honest opinion... actually hoping to hear back from investors that’s been in my shoes at some point in time.

Luckily I used PVC baseboard and shoe molding so it's holding up.  

@Theresa Harris"I call them by their street name"  Like Sluggo, T-Bang, Dooky Shoes or Big Easy?

I had to build some credibility and have some skin in the game, though.If I were in your shoes I'd try to find an investor to partner with who can carry the loan, and you can bring some or all of the down payment.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?  

If you put yourself in the rational consumer’s shoes, you would consider the total cost of each of the following housing options:A) a monthly mortgage payment + utilities + insurance + taxes on a single family home that you buyB) a monthly rental payment + utilities on a 3 bedroom single family home that you rent C) a monthly rental payment + lot rent + utilities on a 3 bedroom mobile home rental that you rent D) a monthly mortgage payment + lot rent + utilities + insurance + taxes on a 3 bedroom mobile home that you own (own the home and rent the land)A deal breaker for me is a situation where there’s <$200 spread between options A/B and C/D.
