I would love to get some advice from locals or any real estate expert with experience in Maryland on the best locations (cities, neighborhoods, etc) to buy this type of property at a fair price.Thanks in advance!

We highly recommend though, having a local expert that you can run addresses by, to confirm the target property in on a good block before signing a purchase contract.

I do have multiple income sources; rentals took over as the largest about 5 or 6 years ago, just a few years before I retired from a career in military/local government.

I'd recommend going around your local community there & finding a credit union that does this!

I invest locally in Columbus and Cleveland.

Hey Billy, you said you'll be living in one of the units...Are you local now?

Or if you were somehow able to look at markets outside the US where local real estate markets are much less transparent.

Thank you @Cameron Moore. i am checking will local insurance agents. hopefully i will get reasonable quote from someone :)

Joining your local real estate investors association (REIA) offers an excellent avenue for such networking.

🗺️Where to find off-market properties:- InvestorLift and any other wholesale aggregator- Make connections with local wholesalers at REI meetups or on Bigger Pockets- Most investor-focused brokers are plugged in with wholesalers and do their own monthly direct-mail campaigns and cold-calling.
