I am in Baltimore and lead paint lawsuits are a big issue.

All of these factors can lead to why the property can sit on the market. 

It's like the blind leading the blind.

Has anyone actually been asked to make their units lead safe?

Then tenant who stays and refuses to pay the new rent leads you down a likely eviction path, then into a turnover.

A little more set-up initially and things to learn, but once you're off and running, then your property can significantly generate more income.

Multifamily properties, like duplexes, can be particularly appealing because they allow you to live in one unit and rent out the other, which helps with covering the mortgage while also generating income.Another option is to invest out-of-state in markets where property prices are more reasonable but still offer great cash flow.

I'm hoping for some guidance and any suggestions/ help is greatly appreciated.The specifics of the property are as follows:Land: 1 acre Income Generating Units: (built around 1995 all in good shape)Ranch House: Rental income of $1,200/monthMobile Home 1: Maintenance personnel reside here rent-free (not generating rental income)Mobile Home 2: Rental income of $980/monthMobile Home 3: Rental income of $1,000/monthMobile Home 4: Rental income of $1,200/monthMobile Home 5: Rental income of $1,200/monthFinancial Information:Estimated Annual Taxes: Approximately $2,500

I spoke with a public adjuster today and have a lead on a Boston attorney.

I wouldn't really look at these as an outright investment, but more of a retirement spot that you can try to generate some revenue from in the mean time.
