@Patrick Daniel i actually did get one of those market analysis and it was quite impressive but honestly found it useless. not enough to warrant my time to go through. basically i found a property i liked, received the market analysis of comps in the same area with identical features and all that stuff and basically was 50+ pages. i already knew going in where i had to be at, but it was interesting to see that comprehensive report.....not familiar with a buyer's list but will do some research on that. i think with me being new and having specific criteria (e.g., no complete rehab), thought mls was the best route. interesting. 1 out of every 95-100 offers...interesting stat. 2 rejected offers on the same property, so a long way to go haha. it's very tiring to look at so many properties only to find maybe 1 that falls in your criteria and then only to get rejected. the waterfall of looking at properties to getting an offer accepted is demotivating when i take a step back and look at that conversion rate (i'm a digital marketer full time so i look at it from that perspective). thanks for the responses!

While I do not know the local fire code in Baltimore, here If the building does not have a secondary exit for both units (regulations differ a little depending on whether either entrance/exit is shared vs independent), they would not be legal accommodations.

The deals have to be out there... but the problem I've run into is that the rents are very low in my area.That being the case, is it a bad idea to look at foreclosures as a way to increase my margins, thus accommodating for the low rents?

It is a VERY comprehensive basic real estate course and probably the starting point for more successful investors than any other course.

I advised REA that, in my experience, this SS lender had never reneged on an oral agreement to postpone and likely would follow through in this case, too.REA simply could not bring herself to advise her EB client to accommodate the process in this way.

Landscape cost, especially tree trimming of large trees.While not a comprehensive list, by controlling cost you can do better than the average of expense to income ratios for your area.

A lot of my 30-something friends are using Ryanair and other cheap airlines to travel on a regular basis - maybe people are going for a time share because they think it will save them money on accommodation?

This is from all the information I've gathered over multiple hours studying and reading, and is by no means meant to be a comprehensive guide.

This was a fairly comprehensive rehab, so I dont *anticipate* anything significant other than tenant turnover or goodness forbid another eviction.

Will your lot size accommodate a larger dwelling and will the neighborhood surrounding your home support the higher value that you expend?
