I recently just added her to my credit so she can get a little boost in her score to help more with the process and yes with the low down payment I don't expect to live rent free but one can dream for now all I care about is owning the property cashflow will come later.

My question is about managment in baltimore city does anyone have any recommedations and what should i expect.

ARV of $285k as expected Lessons learned?

You can't expect to get the same results investors were getting in 2018.You can play with the numbers a little, but be careful.

@Christopher Smith - I'm expecting a capital gains tax bill of ~$100k.

We like being aggressive in stock market investing but more conservative in real-estate given that we plan to use that for cash-flow eventually.The options are:We expect to have $200K/year in taxable savings the next 5 years (barring a job loss)- Pump all savings to the stock market & keep the current rental properties as-is and payoff the properties over the next 15 years using cash-flow for snowballing.

While it is justified or not, the market has changed in terms of expectations too. 

Their book is super helpful, and so far I'm guilty of at least half of all the newbie mistakes they talk about, so I expect my rental operation to improve as I implement their advice over the course of next lease term.
