I've been watching the value of one particular house. 

If you would like to get set up on hotsheets to watch the area I would happy to help. 

I completed a live in flip in highlandtown and love this area and have watched prices continue to escalate while still finding some deals. 

I am not saying don't pursue these types of properties, just be prepared and realize you will need to be a much more hands on manager and should probably do some monthly or quarterly inspections to see whats going on inside.D class are paper tigers.. there is just no changing the tenant experience unless your literally there daily watching every thing.. even then your going to run much higher expenses that other rentals.. its just how that tenant class lives.. no mystery to it..  

Or anything else you'd like to know - I tell my clients "I can tell you what time it is or how the watch is built" ... basically I'll tell you as much or as little as you'd like to learn - and your agent should do the same! 

As a little retired lady, how would she be able to secure a loan to do this?

Watch out for the copyright “nuclear clause” in the TAR lease.

I have also been active watching Brandon's starter videos and will share my findings as they come with this or new posts!

While all your TSP/ IRA/ 401k/ whatever friends are losing their minds because they lost half their life savings, you can stretch out on your couch made of $100 bills you got from owning rental property, crack open a cold one, and watch the world burn while shopping for the next killer deal.

I started watching videos, books, info i could and immediately implemented marketing suggestions asking if sellers/FRBO's would consider doing a rent to own.
