This article notes that the geographic pattern of the vacant houses in Baltimore tracks the historic areas of "redlining" where lenders refused to lend on houses based upon race. 

Don’t fall for the red line that looks close to a 3 or 4% drop occasionally.

Most have red-lined the subdivision where the house is located as "Karst Sensitive", and won't insure at all... or won't cover sinkholes if they do.For what it is worth, I bought seven from this auction company last month, all from the same "owner/developer", and the tenants have mostly been good ones.  

I typically see attorneys billing at $250-$600/hr in our market and think the average PA for an easy deal of that size would be around 4 billable hours for the drafting plus whatever consultation was required and how many iterations of the PA there have been (redlines etc). 

There is no financing for this to speak of commercial lenders will redline to the cows come home :) and investors with the knowledge and sense will understand exactly what Tom is saying and this person will be lucky to sell these in bulk for 10 to 15k a door..

Ideally, I'd like to find something close to the Red Line, but could make neighborhoods off of the brown and purple lines work as well.

The area just West of Howard Red Line used to be rough area and now it's got some nice restaurants I just did a 3 unit house hack client there and numbers worked where they are living almost completely free.

This seems to be like a red line to me, especially if you need to properly identify a tenant to collect damages.

That would leave your living room open to the big windows without that awkward looking little L that the red line leaves in the living room.
