Happy to have a cup of coffee and discuss our experience.  

I suggest reading a blog that is titled something like why you cannot make money on $30K properties (I think you can make money on them but not much for the amount of effort).My view is that typically an investor can do better without going turnkey but turnkey has many advantages and may be an easy entry into REI (just do your research).I am not intending to turn you off of turnkey but to point out some of the drawbacks. 

Habitat may be an option too.  

I need an app to make sure I don't post anything without at least a pot of coffee in my system.The MLS is a great tool.

Thank you everyone for clarifying that, I think either way I still have to be an owner-occupant for at least one year unless I have 20% DP in the bank.

Would it be an additional $5000 for a total of $16868?

I offered to have coffee with someone on BP that lives in the area to share whatever I may know that might be useful (which may be nothing haha).

I am a local investor as well so feel free to reach out with any questions or if you would like to grab a coffee sometime to talk RE!

I believe Baltimore can be an attractive option for people who work in DC that want a better value for their housing dollar and don't mind commuting by train.

Some of us get together at Starbucks for coffee once a month or so.
