For context I grew up in howard county and now live in Carrol county.  

I saw in my local newspaper about a home going up for foreclosure and I think it has the possibility of being a good starter investment for me.

Every time I am out there now I am picking up poop.

Easy Street Capital will lend DSCR on up to 10 units!

@Stepan Fedetskiy section 8 can be good option if you have a good PM who maintains the property in good shape all the time as per the needed standards. best part is govt pays a portion of the rents so you dont have to chase tenants, downside the upkeep of the unit will eat up appx 20%. so its little tricky..sounds good on paper but when you go through one you will get an idea. i had 4-5 section 8's , 3 of them had no issues, but 1 of them had lot of issues and ate up all the profits.  

If the one document you got showed a deposit of $1700, then that is what she's owed (minus any cleaning costs or damage that occurred after you bought it (ie you know she did it). 

Hi Jeremy, I would love if we could meet up.

I recommend finding a strong brokerage with investor-friendly agents who are doing a high amount of volume.You can set up systems and procedures to make it easy for them to refer your company over. and keep their clients happy.

Agents tend to lock stuff up. 

Is the tenant's rent up to market?
