He also said that after repairs, he would be able to rent the properties for $1200-$1400 but I think that the area is not the right place to be charging that much because they are the nicest on the block. 

Its definitely a bit complex when it comes to varying neighborhoods and blocks but if you're ever interested don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

It might be a good idea to have your lease forbid blocking windows with foil, or other opaque items other than curtains or commercially available window blinds (that are not flags or political).Drug dealers, and fake drug dealers tend to block windows so no light can get in, and no Police Officers can see in.As far as flags it's not a proper venue for National flags, and gives you leverage in case someone decides to hang flags offensive to some (such as public display of WWII Axis flags, or socio/political flags) that might be detrimental to your rental business.Good Luck!

Why I’m asking is because this property is listed about $220k below a house around the block that is a larger lot that has two bungalows on it.

I listed another house one time that was just the opposite....sales price about double the tax value....unique house, unique neighborhood about a block long with all kinds of styles, sizes, ages.Just knocked off 25% of the tax value on an investment property I owned by challenging the value at the appraisal district hearings....value of the house has not changed, condition has not changed....their value was automated and not challenged by the district fairly.Bank appraisals where someone actually sees the house, sees the inside, and is familiar with values in the area is way more accurate.

I know Baltimore is very block by block, but I'm still curious.

I live at least six blocks from the nearest grocery store, which means that, on foot, it takes me almost 20 minutes to get there.

Unless it is malicious or repeating its better to let it go.3.

This makes it difficult to find comps and I don't know if it makes sense to flip a house in a neighborhood where after rehab, your house will be the nicest, and most expensive house on the block.
