I knew I was in the tail end of the recession and all the great deals were going to disappear....and they did.

One side of the party will be working their tail off daily forever, until the property sells of course or new management is put in place.The financial investor has it easy.That being said, 50/50 could be good if neither side is experienced.

Tails you lose" Clause.  

I've done a wide range of real estate investing over the last 25 years, but currently I'm at the tail end of a fix and flip.

You have a better shot of guessing the speed with which a bullet passes through a falling feather with a tail wind.

I'm currently at the tail end of a full gut duplex and I'll be in for a total for ~$160k but I bought it from the DLBA about 3 years ago for $8k.I have a ton of off-market deal flow and could potentially hook you up with something that makes sense.

And tbf you may end up with a with a being able to afford a rowhome in canton but might not have a rentable basement vs going to another part of Baltimore that you can more easily house hack but probably has less appreciation (Baltimore really is the tail of two cities, canton, Fed hill ,fells etc are growing the rest of the city is stable at best and shrinking at worst.) it’s also at least worth considering Baltimore county, plenty of affordable townhomes in the Catonsville & Towson areas, you might even be able to buy a single family in parkville which is an underrated area imo.
