Subtract $2300 for one unit and they're paying $1400+expenses to live in a $2300 month apartment and area.

It was like paying for multiple Master's degrees to get our "real world" experience.  

It is also possible that either the folks in charge of the station, or the prosecutor have set a policy of not wanting to pursue non violent crimes, or even not paying attention to crimes against folks who are not local residents. 

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. 

Now, you need to figure out how to find deals and pay for them.

Many people I speak with initially gravitate towards the "cheaper" areas because "numbers are better." 

I am just starting out with a STR and found that VRBO is not very specific if they are collecting the tax and paying it to the State as a marketplace facilitator or am I responsible for this tax collection and payment ?

The tenants began pay rent on time, but then payments began coming in late, then half, then partial, then none.
