@Doug LearnardRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a Class A property in Class D area, what quality of tenant will you get?

I've been saving since I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad.

I specialize in renting to Section 8 (BRHP) in nicer areas of Baltimore County and noticing significantly deteriorated tenant quality.

To enhance your real estate investing knowledge, consider reading books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller, "BRRRR: Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat" by David Greene, "Set for Life" by Scott Trench, and "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon and Heather Turner.

Are their listings detailed with good quality photos?

The Windows are extremely good quality , but Brown casing and frame.

One approach could be to reach out to tax professionals in other states with lower costs of living, as they might provide quality services at more competitive rates.

Facebook rarely provides quality applicants.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that fast, quality maintenance and good communication are by far the best forms of customer service a property manager can provide.

This is an example of being cash poor and what can happen when you do not have equity in properties, or worse - have negative equity because you overpaid on seller financing.
