As an aside, I have studied various "rules of thumb" and "real estate investment guidelines" calculations, picked some target thresholds, and plugged this deal in.

Especially if you are ready to move into your next target market.

I have a 4 bedroom rental that I am targeting to low income families (section 8 would be preferable).

Was it a gentrifying area near local parks you targeted?

I heard on a recent podcast that you can easily pull real estate statistics for your target market through REA (I'm not even sure this acronym is correct)?

Understanding CMA in your target market is another Pro.

I've been taught and learning that:Class A apt buildings  are 10 years older from today's current yearClass B apt buildings are 20 years older from today's current yearClass C apt buildings are 30 years older from today's current yearLately as I have been networking with brokers in my target markets some of them are classifying a building built in 1980 as a  Class B building and Class C building built in 1960-70.

I'm curious where Baltimore BPers have purchased recently and/or where you're targeting.  

Would that help areas that I am targeting to boost median rent , or would it hurt because it's adding inventory and raising prices on real estate B how does one capitalize on these large commercial deals?

Or perhaps, start doing your own marketing to target distressed MF properties in your area or hook up with reputable wholesalers in your area who can bring you deals.Best of luck
