There is a story in the ownership history of those other units.  

Australia and Brazil who depend on exporting their Commodities have been hit with the worst recessions in their history.

Judging from the history of the properties and how they became abandoned I am very confident I can get them dirt cheap.

Properties are more expensive, but I think in the long run, the revival of the Sparrows Point area as a hub for jobs will bode well for investments in the eastern Baltimore County housing stock.

Doesnt help I've always hated Intuit (the parent company)I personally like Buidiums features and it makes it easier to figure out what expenses are tied to what property and I've got 7 years of history in there as well.Just takes me a click of a button when all books are updated to get income statements done, profit/loss, look at the ledger (in a much more readable format than QB in my experience) look at an individual properties performance etc.Has anyone on BP actually used Buildium's full blown accounting features, tracking mortgages, depreciation etc?   

lol this is posted every year about a housing crash. truth is, nobody knows. history shows the recent one was the worst in almost a century so the chances of something of that magnitiude again are very slim.

The tenant that skipped on their lease for your property already have their delinquent history reported to Experian – we automatically upload tenant ledgers to Experian every night.

Is it normal to ask for rental history and expense reports from the seller prior to placing an offer?

@Nick D'Agostini The lender generally count 75% of rental income if you have history of landlord which you have. 

Though no credit card means perfect debt to income ratio, it also means no credit history at all.
