Baltimore City is tenant friendly and very hostile to investors.  

He abandoned it during his demon years so his best friend took it over and added a couple more people before it desolved due to all going off to college.In college he had a side hustle of finding things on free sites, putting them up for sale, selling the free item and offering to transport it for a modest fee.

Good morning all,I was talking to a friend today who lives in Dubai.

One of the most important skills you didn't mention is networking, which you are obviously doing well at too.I'd recommend connecting 1:1 (zoom, coffee. lunch, etc.) with a couple from the BP Chicago community or better yet check out some of the local meetups: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...Make friends with the meetup hosts...they will often know whos who and can help you make the right connections.Regarding your license, I think it's a great idea if you have the time and are going at it with the right intentions. 

I'd try to understand landlord laws in each market - i.e. figure out which markets are more landlord friendly.

Congratulations on deciding to take a big step by introducing yourself to the forums - while everyone is friendly and looking out for your success on these forums, I remember how intimidating it was making my first post introducing myself to the community 10 years ago and before I started working here.
