what you should about Baltimore you get what you pay for.If you are going to look at houses lower than 100K, it can be a huge loss or decent gain, it can be a coin toss.Anything over 150K or more, you are getting closer to safer areas and lower the risk and lower the cash flow.You decide what you want basically.When people says bad stuff, they all invest in areas where you would not get out of their car, get spend close to nothing on houses and complain about it. then go spen 5 times more and suddenly decide that is better.I am a baltimre investor/agent, I am pretty happy and dont have one house in the hood.

I don't see much information that is specific to CO in the forums or podcasts and thought I'd turn to the VAST knowledgebase that BP represents.Are there some CO TL investors willing to share the low-down on the auction/OTC process and ins & outs of CO TLs & foreclosure and/or point me to a few good reference sources - either in the within the forum or via private messaging?

Point being you will end up ahead of the game if you just pony up the coin & replace the roof prior to selling.

@Michael Haas   Well I did come upstairs from my vault full of gold coins that I stack and count over and over again to write the above post :)    I'm sure if SCC thinks we are the bad guys they will love the wall street hedge funds and other large out-of-area investors that buy all the seattle multifamily stock as local investors move their interests to the outer rim worlds, like renton, burien, and tatooine.

We'd actually been doing this for quite a while before the term BRRRR had even been coined.

Hey Folks,   I'm working with a group of other investors to consistently put on an in person meetup at Burlington Beer CO in Burlington, VT once a month and a zoom call with local matter experts.

Shared laundry may be unavoidable depending on the size of the home;   if the ADU is a smaller one is probably a safe move to make laundry free but if you are considering a large (2 or 3br) ADU you might want to think about metered laundry (coin op or something) just in case you get an occupancy-limit sized household.I don't know if they would allow it for an ADU vs. a real duplex,  but the ability to add a second electric meter and breaker panel would be a good way to prevent issues with excess utility usage (you could bill back or just require tenant to get the electric service in their name) - even without that there are submetering options.   

If you assume it's a coin toss if rates will go up or down, that means you lose over half the time by going with an option that has "free" float down baked into a higher interest rate or fees. 

I added coin laundry in the community area as well in the basement, this has been a great addition as well and I recommend.
