PM me with where in Harford you're looking to live and I can provide some more local advice. 

If you're losing $1k/ month by holding it, it costs $2k in repairs and will take 3 months to fix. is $5k an amount you can easily get on cashflow or equity added?

Hi all,My husband and I easily qualify for a conventional loan.

You can earn a big payday when you research and make a sound investment, but you can just as easily lose big if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Doing everything in QBO allows me to have visibility on my projects and allows my CPA to easily access the reports for tax prep.

Although they may not have property specific info, they usually have rent and student demographic information you can use when deciding a strong price point or looking at occupancy trends for your market/property.I hope this provides some insight!

What's a reasonable amount of time for a property management to tour, provide quotes, and get a property advertised for rent after a tenant moves out?

Also, I have heard from David Green that there is DSCR loan that I could easily qualify for if the property shows that it cash flows but they are obviously higher rates.

While it's always best to have a plan for how you are going to execute your exit strategy BEFORE you get started, if you're like me and just jump in you could easily find yourself wondering how to execute this plan if your initial plan runs into problems.BP is full of great advice on refinancing and if you just post that is what you're looking for, the vendors will come out of the woodwork. 

I currently live in/own a property that would fairly easily split into two units (upstairs and downstairs), and is located in an historic area close to hospitals, restaurants and amenities.
