It's funny when going down Clark St up to Devon Ave has trendy bars/coffee shops and suddenly North of there the retail is barely gentrified it's moving more and more north though every year.

@Adam R. since no one else answered you I'll at least give you a reply, though I was kind of hoping someone else would say something on the topic.Your question is phrased in such a way that non-attorneys might be hesitant to answer it, since you're basically asking what's legal and what's not.I have never heard of anything regarding sub-metering (if I remember the RUBS system correctly) for utilities being mentioned in the law.

Though the population has been decreasing in the city overall, there are pockets that are beginning very trendy, especially with new development occurring. 

In addition to updating fits and finishes.As millennials age we will probably see migration to the suburbs anyway, but Gen Z is right behind us to continue to rent in the more trendy areas.New construction at the higher end may have more offices incorporated into them, it's difficult to say.  

So, guessing if that is what the trend is going to be in the near future as well. 

I can say that using key phrases or words help.

Sort of raining on his parade.But isn't an "objection just an opportunity wrongly phrased?"

Creative Real Estate Investing is a phrase or should I say a marketing ploy to appeal to the lay man.Typically, "TRUE" hard moneylenders will lend based upon a percentage of the value of the property regardless of the sales price.

Looking to connect with Baltimore City landlords who rent in C or non trendy neighborhoods.

You probably know a lot more than you realize you know about the area you live in (where the best schools are, where the jobs are, the trendy areas, which areas are going downhill, which areas everyone wants to live, which neighborhoods are seeing renovations, etc).
