Is there serious horizontal cracking of the foundation block? 

Here is some important information32 UnitsClass C property in a B neighborhoodA block from nice shopping, restaurants, etc.Original owner held since building in the '60's, recently passedOwner's daughter is out of state, with no experience in real estate (she is a lawyer though, so not clueless)Expenses appear very high (reported 75%)Many tenants who havent had rents raised in 5-10 yearsRents sit around $0.73/SF, there appears to be room to take them to $1Here are where things get interesting:Reported FinancialsGPI $222,000Expenses $152, 327NOI 44, 646Based on the expenses, I am comfortable saying that I could remove some, (for example, they are paying 2 management companies, one of which is family owned, I believe to reduce taxes).  

Filled mine in a couple of weeks....Make sure you do your research as markets change block to block in baltimore.

The notifications list information relevant to the property included in the sale: block, lot, last assessed owner, location, type of debt, and balance to be sold.

If you follow a crowd you will be competing with them at some point, my suggestion is to look for the gems, know city plans for the neighborhood and by all means, drive the blocks.

That actually happened to me the neighborhood was throwing broken furniture over a block wall into my yard I took a picture of the wicker furniture in her yard and it matched what was thrown it my yard.

Personally I prefer being the dog on the block and let the others pull me up.  

The location is about 5 blocks from a university so i'm thinking of renting out to students - or perhaps the school itself , they have bought up as much property as they can already.

Really depends on the block can’t make a blanket statement about the neighborhood.

I want to buy half of a block (5 houses) with a good street front, demo all the SFHs, re-zone the land, then build my 75-150 apartments.
