If you have something to say, say it.What you have said concerns the belief that as long as a landlord is being consistent he is not discriminating that is where my question is heading.

Just kidding, but if I do again, only offer annualized returns, not fixed.I met up with the wholesaler and walked through the property with him before closing and he had told the owners that they had to clean out the house, but of course, they didn’t.The house has literally been a crack house for years until I purchased it. he owner used to have it as a rent house, and eventually gave it to their daughter to live in, who was unfortunately a drug addict and the place became trashed beyond belief. 

This belief prolongs the search for a "secret" and makes people suscesptible to scammers.

Not every PM can manage every part of town well, at least that's my belief.

The marketing efforts of such firms certainly promote that belief.  

My perception (probably misguided) is that a lot of Baltimore is war-zone like parts of DC...

We have always operated under the belief that "because we (the company) own the properties that we manage, then we are exempt from requiring a broker's license".

Do your homework and align yourself with someone who shares your beliefs and goals (albeit at a much greater level than you at this time).

In the end however it is your property, your money, and your beliefs, so you need to come to a solution that makes you feel happy with yourself at the end of the day.  

Sounded too good to be true from the beginning and too much of a "get rich quick" scheme.I guess I just expect more from my friends and would hope they had every good intention when it came to my personal business, especially my finances.Well, that is a shock but I have reaffirmed my original belief and now with the help of yourself and @Neal Collins I have potentially avoided a landmine.Thanks so much for your contributions.
