If you aren't familiar with Baltimore, I would suggest it's a hard no and say that you are trying too hard to make cash flow happen talking Baltimore and tax liens and auctions.

I suggest checking out some of the meetups on BPs meetup page:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of all the other Chicago meetups that I can share with you.

Like Dan, we have a standardized paint (white clay by Behr in eggshell, but SW will mix it NP) Thank you for the suggestions Marcus.

I've heard people in this forum suggest that you treat them all like animals.

It may be out of state, so you will have to determine if that is something you are willing to explore.It isn't always cut and dry as some suggest. 

I'm in escrow on a small multifamily (4-unit) in San Diego and wondering if anyone has suggestions for great property managers in the area.

Strongly suggest scoping out GA, TN, OK, PA, AL, IN, etc.  

I would also suggest YouTube if you like to watch vs read.

Can anyone suggest beach markets in SC and/or GA that allow STRs and cash flow with 20% down?

I would suggest keep learning and dig deep on the one real estate strategy you selected to pursue.
