Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on knowledge in a variety of areas, including tax liens, tax deeds, rental properties, and fix-and-flips.

That's including high Baltimore property taxes, expenses, mortgage, etc. 

I made the mistake of letting someone get in one of my first units that was a bit off the 3 times, they were great tenants very kind and enjoyed their stay and experience with me, but could not afford it when I increased the rent on them, which is something you will have to do because of rising insurance/tax costs.5.)

If you buy a duplex that rents for $3K a side and take 6 months to do a remodel, you will lose $3K plus the interest you are paying, taxes, insurance, and utilities if we estimate $1500/mo for that stuff. 

For example - the amount that they put down in their brochure of the property, property tax was extremely low - being that the property was assessed before the rehab was done, and was therefore worth extremely little when it was appraised by the City.

I personally have found an abundance of deals where older landlords no longer wish to own but do not want to pay the capital gains tax. 

The Sewer Charge and Water Supply Tax may be higher now.Check if you’re now subject to automatic annual rate hikes based on CPI, which could contribute to the increase.4.

1000 out of 1000 will say: “I rather keep it”.Now take 1000 people from your favorite Tax Lien list and ask them the same question: Do you want to sell your house or would you rather keep it?”
