In terms of location, do you think I might be better off looking for a home in Montgomery or PG County or somewhere in NOVA?

We of course will have our door slot available for money orders to be accepted but we HIGHLY DISCOURAGE cash payments using this process.

Good tenants live in bad neighborhoods too, not all of them are bad, most just got themselves into unfortunate situations, divorces, had kids too young and got in over their head etc. there's slot of money to be made in these areas if you're smart about it and do enough research.

That will be your best next option for buy and hold once you hit your cap of 10 properties unless you 1031 exchange into less finances properties to open up slots.

I now want to terminate a lease and all my correspondence with the tenant has been through text and email but my lease states I have to either 1st class mail or hand deliver (post to door or using door slot allowed).

Is there a map of Baltimore that has a grade by each area of the city/county.Well, Thanks for reading and I am looking forward to learning as much as I can from everyone here.Thanks One of things I’m obsessed with when I invest is something I call “gaps” basically when there are two area next to each other that have huge price differences (of course sometimes they exist for a good reason) for instance for years PG county was about 200-300k cheaper than an exact same house a block over on the D.C. eventually that gap pretty much evaporated as pg went up and D.C. went down.

Allegedly the money order I put in the mailbox  slot that directly deposited into the apartment the manager  “lived in” like one day a week was lost. seeint the writing on the wall I negotiated an offer to leave.

PG county markets are some parts of Hyattsville.

The absolute cheapest property inside the beltway is in PG county.

Are you a local in PG?
