I agree with the other contributor that it’s better to own a $1M asset that appreciates 3% per year that pays no cash flow (over the long term) rather than a $100k asset that appreciates 3% and pays $300 a month in cash flow.

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.

Assuming the place is in good shape, there isn't that much management.5.

What really matters is how long you think you will have this loan.
