Rancho is working class, solid neighborhoods, decent schools, and lot of first time home buyers looking for a decently sized house.

I just bought my first rental property in Baltimore, MD, and I’m planning to rent it out by the room, including the basement.

That said, I’ve found that properties in C-class neighborhoods tend to perform best with Section 8 tenants.

We have even first-responder equipment ready (carpet fans, dehumidifier, puddle sucker pump etc) to deal with the issue quickly and curb the damage, before we get the contractors in to do the repairs.

This card is tied to the first bank account and is on auto pay.

Unfortunately many landlords take the first group they find in these situations and come from the ideology that all college students are slobs so no sense offering anything nice. 

I'm passionate about real estate and how utilizing this asset class can enable me to build generational wealth and retire early.

This was our first primary residence How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

In fact, I would estimate that it is mostly upper middle-class folks that have the money and wherewithal to go through the vacation rental process - prepayment of substantial monies, etc.If you only have one property, I would just stick with Venmo, CashApp, or Paypal.

Welcome to the world of real estate investing, and congratulations on taking the first steps toward learning about this exciting space!
