Hey BP,As all of us are finishing the final quarter of the year and going into 2017, I've been reflecting on how my year went in 2016 and using that to determine adjustments/tweaks we can make to improve our business going into the new year.

If it's the latter, and you want to develop a recognized brand presence, the most important thing to as yourself (in my opinion) is "does this name reflect and well represent what I want us to be known for?"  

You need to edit your lease to reflect Baltimore City laws.

Location is important & thus reflected in the units price.The SOWAL RE forum is a good place to ask questions.  

Especially if the financials on the LLC are not really reflecting its use as a real company (just paper, but no or very little transactions).

It is a desirable area (and will continue to be so if they can manage to put a grocery store back in), and the price on that 4-plex seems to reflect it.

Most of the owners of the homes for sale indicated there homes were very dated but again the price did not reflect that.

I assume your research on comps reflects actual sold prices, not listed prices, that they are true comparables (sq. ft., number of bedrooms/ baths, garages, etc.), and that the lender (why does seller not know who that is?)

Yes that is a great deal for an investor, but for other people living in the area who want to sell their home that is also valued at $400K, that $50K price is not a true reflection of the value of the homes in the neighborhood. 

If you want to pool other people's money for this investment you need to let your offer and documentation reflect that.
