Hi everyone,I'm excited to dive into the world of real estate and connect with experienced professionals who are already thriving in this field.

Honestly my advice is to go to meetups and network with more experienced investors in Baltimore.

Thanks for Sharing @Garfield M. so many people still have no idea the map is still in effect.

This older home has older ceiling fans in the bedrooms.I'm planning to replace all the fans with LED light but wanted to hear peoples experiences on this.My thoughts are, ceiling fans are another object in a rental that break a lot, they get dusty and gross, and these don't provide much light to the rooms.

I respect that you are doing it with kids, too many people use that as an excuse.

I recommend consulting with someone experienced in this area.

I am no banker and there are people here that will certainly address your question better than I... but it appears you are blending real property and personal property and trying to bundle together into an LLC. 

So curious if people think I’m nuts? 

People are willing to pay the high interest rate because they expect to pay off the loan quickly.If you own the home outright, you would go to a traditional bank to cash out the equity.

Contrary to popular borrower belief, the mortgage business is actually more about people than numbers.
