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.

The list comes out at least 30 days before the sale and the owners have opportunities to pay off the debt anytime in those 30 days. 

Pay attention to reviews and guest feedback to refine your audience over time.

Then maybe you are able to roll that money into a downpayment on another primary and an investment property.As for whether you should be looking for a loan for the work vs. paying for it out of pocket.

It's short sighted because it sounds like there is a high likelihood this current tenant will pay. 5.
