Hi @Ola Dantis,  I can't speak specifically to Baltimore but Section 8 is fairly common across states.  

Shoot me an email if you want to speak with him.Paul

If you are pre approved after you run the numbers, and or view a specific property, you can speak with your agent and begin to make offers.. 

@Mehreen ShehdadI can speak to this pretty well as I own two condo/town homes in the same complex that does have an HOA. 

If you can get rents to average....700* 4 = $2,800/mo $33,600/yrTaxes - $3500/yrWater - $600Garbage - $400Vacancy Rate - $2800/yr (this is extremely conservative, could maybe be half of this depending on turnover rate)Cap ex - $3,360 (10%)Repairs - $1,680 (5%)PM - $3,360 (10%)Insurance - $900Net Income - $17,000 ( Divide this number by the desired cap rate and thats what you should be ALL-IN for) If the cap rate for the area is 5% then you could be all in for $340,000...theoretically speaking.

Generally speaking, you free up the most amount of cash-flow for the least amount.

So legally speaking, if I remediate the mold / have it tested and it comes back normal, I do not have to disclose to the buyer?

I am not an attorney so I cannot speak to the legalities.

Even if I do speak with a landlord, I keep in mind that they might give a positive reference to insure that their "headache" tenant moves out.  

I don't want to speak to which strategy you should use for decreasing your costs, but I would recommend examining your tenant screening process if you are having to actually go through the whole eviction process that many times.
