You could lease part for food service or coffee shop and some retail space, a small health club, massage. 

I'll take having a health care directive over 10 LLC's any day.  

Appreciate all your feedback.The vast, vast majority of properties in Baltimore city, especially city properties cost more to rehab than they are worth, effectively totaling the properties, it’s great that you want to help fix up Baltimore but you’d be better spent working with habitat for humanity or something as opposed to flipping in Baltimore, especially in the cheapest areas.  

They are humans just like you.

I currently enjoy my full time job in health care, but would love to cut down on my hours in another 5-10 years.

I've got 3 doors so far, and really trying to figure out how I can grow quickly and leave the corporate world behind as soon as is humanly possible. 

I think my skills in mental health counseling and healthcare management are going to be surprisingly relevant to real estate investing (at least I hope so). 

For the most part its just health and safety items, which are items we should have remedied anyways.As someone else mentioned, biggest thing to avoid is having the house tagged as vacant which the city will do if it sits empty for too long (handful of months, grass not cut, etc).

On the one hand, I can see it as a positive indicator, for example of market health and increasing suburbanization. 

But there's more to it than real estate confidence.If you don't feel good about yourself as a person, as a human, you won't be at your best as a real estate investor.
