You can still find deals in the outlying counties , you just have to be first and have cash .I am not a fan of Baltimore , my family moved out in 1974 , and I told my parents it was the BEST decision they ever made . 

So I am a fan of the historic Northeast.

Hi everyone, I am a big fan of Real estate Rookie Bigger pockets.

In terms of price and value, I am personally a fan of the Fontanelle and PebbleTree neighborhoods, and the past year I saw many active flippers in these areas.

@Kevin SobiloHonestly not a fan of investing my tax deferred amounts in syndications that have leverage and depreciationRather use my liquid cash for those types of investments to take advantage of the tax code and use my deferred accounts for types of investments that do not have preferential tax treatment (like private lending etc)

Find a deal, run the numbers and have money if something hits the fan. 

Make sure the vents or fans are clean and working properly. 

Be careful out there....some of the new builds are not comparable to the old builds....many of the newer ones are all siding, no brick, no light fixtures or ceiling fans...just LED recessed lighting...no doorbell, no garage door opener, no attic stairs, one piece tubs, vs tiled baths, no landscaping, no trees, and on and on....they've taken out virtually every single cost.   

I’m a big fan of DSCR lending.

I’m a fan of them.
