I would anticipate it would depend on the level of detail you desired but it has been my experience that the will do free estimates.

Hi Everyone,I have a rent by the room property and unfortunately, one of the tenants is being combative and aggressive with the other tenants. 

In Maryland, it's not the city so much as the state and the laws you have to watch out for.

Competition with owner-occupants and the age of the homes (70-120+) will squeeze your margins and expose you to a fair amount of risk.

That’s the lowest hanging fruit in my opinion. leverage the lenders money and have great cash on cash returns… move out after a year and then repeat the process.

I have enough down payment and can get a DSCR for the 4 plex, but would not be able to swing the other, even by itself. 

Bryan,This is one of the biggest challenges when investing in C/C+ areas, and it’s even more amplified in D-class neighborhoods.

I'd be happy to visit about the market.  

Oversimplifying it just a bit, the investor profits from:- a non-refundable option paid by the tenant-buyer which gives them the right to purchase the property within their option period- the spread between the rent paid by the investor to the property owner and the rent paid to the investor by the tenant-buyer over the life of the option- the spread between the price ultimately paid by the investor when they exercise their option with the owner and the price ultimately paid by the tenant-buyer when they exercise their option with the investorClear as mud?

Everywhere I turn all I see are pitches for affordable housing and the same (not so) compelling arguments regurgitated by syndicators, capital raisers, brokers etc. for the investment strategy....strong returns...lower volatility....supply (huh?)
