Also our house is the subject of a reality show called Southern Charm.. so when I get a video link I will post it..

I live in Patterson Park and work with a company, Charm City Builders, that specializes in rehabs around this area.

I'd try to connect with some wholesalers our in more rural Maryland (Frederick-Hagerstown corridor), or even Jefferson/Berkeley/Morgan Counties in WV: only about an hour or so from Charm City, depending on where you are.

You will still get those who know what to say to get a showing, all the while hoping the mentioned credit check in the ad was a bluff, or that they hope to charm you into not doing a credit check, etc..

A fireplace can add to the charm of the home and charm sells.We have four duplexes with wood burning fireplaces.

It is an antique with Olde World Charm -- a semi-attached English Tudor in North Flushing.

If you do a lot of your own screening (free aside from time) then this can be effective, but you kiss a lot of frogs before you find that prince charming.

I don't do a ton of retail flips anymore but when I did this worked like a charm.

It's a B/B- prop in a C but improving area that is starting to attract some hipster/artist types.I just rented a nice 1:1 on the same block that was markedly smaller but charming, with a good floor plan, for $495 - which was basically .90/sf plus $50/mo utilities.If I put that same model on the new duplex, which is clean plain jane vs charming, I get a crazy number... $900, which is more than a 3/2 in this area.

It was located in a very quaint area ( actually there are only a few subdivisions in this area with the same charm, surrounded by not as desirable areas, and the houses sell for 50-100k more ) Lesson 2 .
