So my last post seemed a little empty, here's are some add ons for you.Things you might want to try:[1] empty a room in your house and make it your dedicated office--paint or wallpaper it just like your old office--same stuff on the walls, etc...[2] Put in a desk like you had when you were working--spend the money to get what makes you feel productive.[3] Get a very comfortable desk chair you can sit in for hours a day.[4] It's COVID time, so use ZOOM to make some calls when you would normally meet in person.[5] If you're a drinker, put a mini-bar in your office so you stay put there vs going to the kitchen for a beer and getting side tracked.[6] When you're burnt out on a task, have some kind of fallback use of your time, such as reading an ebook about the business.[7] Eat breakfast everyday before going into the office and take a lunch break (if you are non-COVID afraid then go out for lunch 5 days a week).[8] Make the office your daily base of operations vs just your home.[9] Make a Vision Board on Excel.[10] If a computer CRM is not your friend--buy and use a Roldex from ebay.Just my 2 cents.

I realize that people need to make money/eat, but so do we all

@Chirag Patel, take this with a grain of salt, as I ended up pulling out of the 2 new builds I have ever attempted doing:A: calling a builder is a good start, but in my very limited experience, they will eat all of your margin, leaving you with a property worth what you paid for it.B: you need that detailed plan, as finishes alone can add significantly to your budget.  

You're just going to have to eat the cost of adding additional spaces, hopefully it's a good deal and it won't matter in the long term. 

Appliance service calls will eat away your cash flow, and are very rarely under $200.

So Rob,What are some of the locals favorites...Any recommendations that you like personally.Texas has the chains, Whataburger and Taco Cabana for fast-ish dining, that most people like.Hammerheads for all things meat, Grind for Burgers, Gravely for Beers, Please and Thank you for the best cookies in the city, Surnegos for the best coffee, and Jack Fry's for the best historic place to eat! 

Unless you are going to 1031, or have enough equity to cash out a chunk with a refi, selling it traditionally will eat a lot of that equity up.

This presents a situation where were looking for a niche tenant - someone who can afford to buy a home but has life circumstances leading them to rent and who also does only minimum cooking or eats out a lot.

The main character is at home eating breakfast and gets a telemarketer call from a guy trying to sell newspapers.

I believe most of these neighborhoods have an additional tax for being the nicest neighborhoods in Baltimore, so that will eat into your cash flow, but generally Baltimore has great cash flow.
