I guess I was getting confused when I looked at the county assessor page as suggested on some of the webinars and they are in the $400-500 range. 

I do suggest using the BP rental calculator as you would for a MF to help you make sure things make sense financially.  

Any suggestions on where to hang my license in Maryland if my primary goal is for handling my own deals?

If the schools, streets, shopping and entertainment areas look like a C, attracting residents to pay the higher rates by upgrading the property to a A/B as you suggest (higher than the surrounding area) is typically not going to work out so well.  

I am open to all and any suggestions regarding my question.

What does the community suggest?

I was considering trout river location to buy single family homes. murray hills homes are on the rise and cost over 90k for a descent single family residents. since you in the area what do you suggest I invest my money to build a nice portfolio of rental properties.

I am asking this because a Bank I contacted told me that they won't typically work with someone who does not have any prior experience building  multifamily and suggested that I consider purchasing an existing property instead.How else would you gain experience?

Thoughts, comments, and suggestions are welcome. 

All I do pretty much is retail.
