To be honest, I invest in Baltimore and I would not be able to invest without knowing exactly where the property is, hopefully it turns out well.I am assuming they are in an area where many other boarded houses available, so my suggestion get an alarm for it once you made some investing in it, it is very common materials being stolen.Good Luck, hope you get what you are looking for 

Thief as far as I am concerned!

If a wholesaler makes the same 20k after sending out thousands of direct mail pieces and making hundreds of phone calls and knocking on dozens of doors he's a thief.

What we need to realize is that most 99.5% (my keester number) will are owned by there 20 dollar alarm clock.

These are all great questions to answer.For the burglary issues in vacant homes you'd know that if you plan on marketing your vacant property for rent, you better be sure you have an alarm system or some other deterrence until this local crime ring stops.The shopping center and hotel project will likely boost home values nearby, depending on the exact location and scope of the work.

Don’t be alarmed or upset if you receive this number the day of closing or even an hour or two before closing.

I see it as a stable, mature market with slight but non-alarming negative indicatiors.

Rents are rising at an alarm pace throughout the country (but not in all places).
