It's like the old sports car is better than pick-up truck - depends on what you want to do.

Contrary to what some say, this is NOT a state-wide requirement, it is lender dependent.

That depends - if its a short term hard money loan possibly, but expect to pay more for it.I would first ask your current lender if you can extend the loan.

You can't just look at where there ads land in the Google results for your property area. it depends on the big markets that come to you.

It's not what I would call a super rough, probably different street by street, and would most likely depend on the neighbors right around the property. 

It  really depends what you value.

It could vary of course depending on the defenses of the tenant and if the court is presently backlogged.

My COC return will vary depending on my out of pocket cash.

My immediate goal is to acquire our first property and spend the next two years mastering the basics of real estate investment. ( Refining the Go and No property search criteria/ Learning the value of taxes and avoiding them as much as possible/ 1031 exchanges) Depending on my wife’s career orders, we may remain in Baltimore for 1-2 years, but I’m also exploring opportunities in West Texas, Sierra Vista, AZ, and Houston, TX.

I’m back now and looking for some guidance on an idea that caught my attention.An old high school friend of mine has been buying older houses, either renovating or tearing them down and rebuilding, depending on their condition.
