If you like where you live, I would explore investing in a cheaper out-of-state market. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

It’s been an exciting (and sometimes chaotic) journey, and I’m always looking to learn from others while sharing my own experiences along the way.Baltimore is definitely a unique market with its fair share of challenges and opportunities, and I’d love to connect with other investors—whether you’re just starting out or have been in the game for years.

The price we thought was very reasonable in this current market based off the other properties we have seen prior to that with similar layouts. 

What's your criteria for the market you're interested in? 

I was wondering if anyone had ideas on how I might be able to attract more tenants who are okay with having this type of policy as I know it might be a bit of a niche market, but I'd love to hear any suggestions.

AirDNA – This is my go-to for market research.

You could put most of your funds in the stock market and access them when needed for a HML.

I am considering a 12 unit multifamily property in my home market of Harrisburg, PA. 

Of those two, I actually like the first one better because you have a competitive advantage to that market and the amenities you could provide.
