I am a lender in Baltimore and live here as well, just curios, what street was this on?

You'll want to focus on securing a favorable financing deal at the refinance stage—ideally, you want to pull out as much of your initial investment as possible while keeping monthly payments manageable.A big consideration is understanding your after-repair value (ARV) and ensuring the rehab costs add value in proportion to that.

@Alex MoazeniYou are already out $8,000; I would probably call around and see what kind of deal you could get at a hotel for 10 days.

Leasing is a specialized skill—PMs deal with this daily, making them far better equipped to handle applications, verify income, conduct background checks, and evaluate a tenant’s overall suitability.Protecting Your Investment:The cost of a bad tenant can be far greater than the cost of hiring a professional.

Enhancing guest experience with small touches, like a welcome basket or local guide, can lead to better reviews and repeat bookings.

Are you cleaning yourself or hiring that out?

The biggest issues is getting vendors out there when repairs are needed and property management.

Most mechanical meters should be an easy change out or repair. 

I would definitely check Dunn and Bradstreet for any open lines of credit, liens, judgements and the like. 

This thing is a gamechanger!
