(Im on my cell so tag function wont work, if someone can tage them for real that would be great)Those 2 guys underwrite more flips in Baltimore and DC than probably anyone else alive.

If you don't get the money when they have it, you won't get it because they'll change their mind and spend it on something stupid like a new cell phone, or big screen TV.

We're talking a run down area with convenience stores, cell phone stops, T-shirt shops, nail salons and even a dreaded store front church (I remember an Urban Planning professor describing store front churches as an indicator that the commercial value was in the lowest tier).

While such an approach is totally wrong, IMO, it is easy and many Realtors don't have many brain cells left to damage.As an investor, your valuations should come from comprable sales in the area.

I've been doing direct mail marketing, using a 800 number that gets transferred to my cell phone.

I had the attorney set up 2 EINs, one for the parent and one for the cell: 1- EIN #1 for the parent was set up with my business partner and me as the members2 - EIN #2 was set up for the cell but he also set it up with my business partner and me as the members EIN #1 was setup just fine.

after a few minutes of the conversation, i realized they had decided to email me about the leak the night before instead of calling my cell or even texting, so the water had been leaking for almost 9 hours now.

I've been reading the Houston Business Journal and I'm reading articles that say we are headed for a real estate downfall, and some that say things are fine.

I recently purchased a 3 family in the Journal Square.  

@Gino Barbaro Would reading the Baltimore Business Journal be beneficial to analyzing my market?
