Here is an excellent example of a failed city council and local politicians in the name of helping the poor!!! 

I'm sure it's like this everywhere though...The other thing to be aware of, is that you're required to have a property manager if you do not live within a certain radius of the city.

So - starting again, and soliciting your referrals for investor-friendly real estate agents in Maryland, ideally in Baltimore City and County. 

There are lot of resources in Houston and great networking events to meet other investors, contractors, and wholesalers from all over the city.  

When doing our research we found that Fannie Mae notified the previous owner, the HOA, the city of miami, and everyone else that they are initiating a foreclosure on the property.

If I would like to make a way to park front of the front porch, do I need to contact the city for a permit to make a small one car fit drive way?  

But the biggest barrier for an investor is that many coops and condos have an owner occupancy requirement or really strict rules about owner occupancy (like you can sublet a max of 2 out of every 5 years and other nonsense).

I want to work with agents who specialize in the following cities and markets: Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom and Rancho Cordova.If interested, reach out to me and we can discuss how we can do business together.Thanks!

Because I am not limited to a certain city/state I was wondering if I could get some advice about where I should look for investments/contacts.

The biggest piece of advice I have is to make sure that everything you and your brother agree to is in writing and 100% understood by both of you.
