There are so many great people and resources throughout BP that will be great to build a foundation and continue you learning.

I can't stand Dave Ramsey because he advises people with out asking 100 questions that you should before you give advice like this. 

This group is full of knowledgeable people, though you may sometimes get conflicting advice.

I am seeing a lot more people go that route instead of turnkey. 

(YAY - I love people becoming biz owners).   

Also, do you have 2 people per room, or just one person? 

It works great for many people -- not me -- but it might be your best option considering your distance. 

I'm also considering Halethorpe because it's a good commuter location.Some people really like supporting the city in which case , northeast Baltimore would seem to the best place to buy a single family, in my opinion given the taxes situation and given that none of those areas are walkable I’d rather just be in the county and pay Lower taxes, and it’s not like northeast Baltimore is much that much cheaper than Baltimore county, hathorpe is mixed, arbutus is nice, I hate the housing stock there, would rather be in Catonsville if I was considering western Baltimore county. 

Typically people think FHA because it's what's thought of as the least amount down which is commonly the goal when we all get started.
