Not that I am an expert in real estate (yet) but I am very conscious of risks.

Job creation, infrastructure advantages, environmental justice, etc.Most definitely with a collaborative TEAM, having a solid business plan, dollars that make sense and a clear vision it would all supersede concerns and set a platform to manifest this idea into a reality.I would be most interested to hear more if you happen upon others who are seriously considering this revitalization of Baltimore neighborhoods as a team effort.

Being overly price conscious, just means you will be susceptible to purchasing a cut rate policy.

For the past few months, I've made a conscious effort decision that I am going to get involved in the world of real estate investing.

The negative ----- delinquent tax sales, foreclosures, vacant properties, rent court, housing court, devoices and any other situation where sellers have a problem that needs to be solved.Warning ----- don't be a predator..... help people with problems - solve their issues and you will benefit from the LAW of Prosperity  Consciousness.  

I have an environmental remediation company coming to check it out.once rehab is complete it should rent for 1400-1600Brief synopsis of rehab: partial roof (maybe more, there's a sag), sheetrock over existing paneling and paint.  

It's nice to be conscious of your realtor's time, but ultimately it is his decision whether he wants to continue to invest in this process.
