I don't know you're living situation but it's extremely cheap or you're living with the family.

Any advice is happily accepted because I am so extremely new to this.

Maintenance and vacancy of 25-30% seems extremely high.

My husband ran his own business for the last 12+ years which he lost recently, and he is finding the same thing....stepping back into the corporate world after so many years out is proving extremely challenging (and frustrating). 

All that industrial space isn't highest and best use and so long term I could see more zoning changes and possible growth.In the end though, this going to be your primary residence and so I would pull the trigger in a neighborhood and building where you really want to live.

After filling out a permit wrong we triggered a city of Boston ordinance of having to require a sprinkler system put in.

I was adding value and we pulled the trigger when How did you finance this deal?

Extremely helpful. 

Baltimore is an extremely risky investment. 

Current rental market for the area is extremely limited and I have never seen a unit advertised for smokers/pets in the area and I believe there would be a lot of interest.
