Hi All,I'm a new member in Silver Spring, MD, who read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and realized I don't have to be living paycheck to paycheck forever!

Smoking in units, people not on the lease staying there, police called for various reasons, etc...- Almost impossible to get any kind of unit damage paid for beyond what you have in a security deposit The rest of your statements about the homes needing a ton of work, contractors costing the same, and dealing with properties that are very tough to force appreciate are spot on.I personally do not invest in Section 8 housing anymore because they are normally cash flow purchases.  

I am installing wireless, ten year lithium battery combo smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in my rentals. 

“Weare dealing with increasing costs of cleaning up after drugcontamination from smoking methamphetamine and fentanyl in units,”wrote the Archdiocesan Housing Authority.

And when I applied for a rental license it was a really easy process, they cared more about the safety things like having enough smoke detectors and fire extinguisher and GFCI outlets near water, etc. 

Metro in 2022 with the expansion of the Silver Line.

Things like leaking pipe under sink, downspout that needs securing, sewer vent pipe out to the attic, missing smoke detectors in a unit, loose material, etc. are all very easy fixes that we would be happy to make for you. 

Is there any silver lining to this proposal or it would it truly in fact be a large blow to the real estate community?

The 4th Thursday of every month is a standing inspection for fire prevention to check all smoke detectors and CO detectors.
