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. 

It's people Bruce. 

I’m here to learn as much as I can, meet like-minded people, and get advice on making a solid first deal.

Aishan,Detroit is one of the best markets in the country but you have to know what you're and you have to work with people that have your best interest at heart.

People start moving in with their TOH homes (back in the day when everyone could afford one) and the park starts to fill up. 

Check with some of the people that commented here about the specific location.  

People who have service dogs (or horses, as these are the only 2 service animals) that are genuine have no issue disclosing that on the front end and can answer the 2 questions easily - is the animal necessary for a disability, and what specific tasks has the dog (or horse, if you're getting one of those) been trained to perform? 

See what a difference it will make for people to know you have 13 years in.

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. 

We net 10s of thousands of people from the Midwest states as well.
