I'd recommend targeting the agents that have done most of the sales in the locations you are interested in, they will know the good areas vs bad areas.

Most buydowns on DSCR loans take 4-5 years to get into the green, no difference if you buydown 1pt or 5pts.

Appreciate all your feedback.The vast, vast majority of properties in Baltimore city, especially city properties cost more to rehab than they are worth, effectively totaling the properties, it’s great that you want to help fix up Baltimore but you’d be better spent working with habitat for humanity or something as opposed to flipping in Baltimore, especially in the cheapest areas.  

I don’t see a space for you to fit in.

Use this time to save up and educate yourself a little better before making the next purchase.

Go yourself, at least for the initial purchase, any renovations, and furnishing, etc. and set-up.

The number of homes for sale declined to 1263 homes sold.

Likely just light cosmetic, fix ups, bath and kitchen remodel, landscaping. 

The most likely scenario is that you refuse to pay him, or make him an offer he doesn’t accept, and he files a mechanics lien on the property. 

I will most certainly contact the banks and see how we can work together. keep wellErol In my experience, PNC bank has been nothing but booty when it comes to any type of lending.
