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.

There are all types of people in this world, many people have different stories.

---Investors always compare/hire people of Craigslist that are uninsured, questionable skills, are unreliable and offer no warranties.

There's definitely some opportunity with people wanting to make moves post-storm.

A lot of people spend their time doing this, but it's not a good use of time because it can not teach you anything relevant without seeing each one in person.

Starting with something near your market that you know the area, can drive by the property and meet people in person will get you more comfortable with the risk of owning property. 

We are seeing people move from higher cost of living areas like Raleigh, Durham, chapel hill, and even Greensboro.   

You can tell him the people on BP think it's not a good idea. 

No offense, but telling people "that's not a good way to do it" and nothing more seems like a little league coach who tells his players "you're doing it wrong" but then doesn't give instruction of how to do it better.
