Hey Jacob,My team and I currently manage apartment buildings in a few different areas of the County and have the infrastructure/man power to take on more with relative ease.  

@Mike WoodLot is $12600 - lots are cheaper here since the developer does not have to pay for the infrastructure improvements. out of pocket.

We absolutely love Fort Collins as a smaller city with huge amenities (easy outdoors access, great infrastructure, thriving Old Town district, college town, hopping music scene, etc.).

I think you re asking the right questions, looking at the BP marketplace is a good way to begin your research and drilling down a solution that aligns with your goals.Turnkey comes in different flavors, ultimatley it is suppose to be a simple entry in RE without having to construct your own infrastructure, for good passive investment cash-flow.Main takeaways: Turnkey comes in different flavors: Simple Passive Income - the Turnkey home is direct purchase from the supplier, it is operational and managed by themStreamline construction and uniformity materials for maximum economies of scaleResearch the area, visit the space possibly, meet the teamI hope this helps you a little bit more as you try to define the type of culture you seek to align yourself with.

Tranportation imporvements, Vacancy rates, unemployment, average household income, growth rate of population, available rental stock, infrastructure improvements, large employers moving in.

From my experience clients are very rewarding experiences, as you get a chance to bring someone else's dreams come to life, personally I love to take them through the process of a full renovation, everything from rendering to build, however, if you are not built with the proper infrastructure it is incredibly time consuming and administratively intensive.

It allows me to lay out a plan to execute,  and then gives me the info I need to monitor progress...but that's just me.  

You wouldn't have to pay for additional infrastructure, and you would get cash flow without the headache.   

My first step would be to get on the phone with each of the utilities and see what is even feasible.Quite often you are limited by infrastructure and those limitations will cost you to improve them.

Job creation, infrastructure advantages, environmental justice, etc.Most definitely with a collaborative TEAM, having a solid business plan, dollars that make sense and a clear vision it would all supersede concerns and set a platform to manifest this idea into a reality.I would be most interested to hear more if you happen upon others who are seriously considering this revitalization of Baltimore neighborhoods as a team effort.
