After my first buy there I can pass along a few things: 1)Baltimore is block by block.

I would do a simple counter top on the island, maybe butcher block to add character.  

This property is not in "Beverly Hills" by any means, it's rough and our tenant pool will be a lot of section 8 type people but it's literally 1 block from the State Capital and other government . 

I usually block out a 6-10pm window for this.  

Has anyone else run into this road block on their first deal?

And looking back, I'm lucky I didn't blow up the block since the gas water heater was in the garage.

It's in a great neighborhood and only three blocks from the beach front.

It is a few blocks from the westminster mall and 2 miles from the beach and in a nice neighborhood.Asking is $530k and is being sold by family that acquired the home from another member.

That does usually mean you'd have to share profits but it is a great way to learn the process from those who have been around the block so to speak.

I'm closing on a lot south of the Calossahatchee a block from the river and just west of 75.
