I have some guesses as to what the problem may be, but I need a good, investor-friendly plumber. 

Good luck on your journey man. 

Long time investor/landlord in NC and SC, let know if you have any questions?

They should ONLY include properties of the same size (sq ftg), and within a short distance form this property.Lastly, your profit comes after you recover your cash you put in. 

At some point I'd like to begin a long career in REI and would like to have met some people already that can share in that endeavor.Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Good luck, Its a dangerous game.

What im hoping to gain from this group is knowledge i cant find anywhere else, i hope to meet people that i can help and people that can help me, I hope i can form good friendships on here, and i hope to find my first rental.

I assume you know at this point but in general, the goal is the screen for a very good tenant and keep them there as long as possible.

We always need more good people doing this so best of luck to you!

Depending on your flavor, this could be good or bad.Connect with a great property manager early on, as many won't work just any property in any part of the City.Being an east coast city, our housing stock is fairly old and unless it's been properly rehabbed, will have typical "old house" maintenance.None of this is meant to discourage you from investing in multi units in Baltimore, but I'd try to set realistic expectations about the market here.TLDR; we have a wide variety of "multi-unit" structures in Baltimore.
