I’d try my best to be outside the beltway in Baltimore county, generally the nicer areas, I tend to especially like Towson, lutherville, even parkville is a good value. 

As my parents age, I am assisting in their property management of their primary residence and would love to connect with other real estate investors in the area.

Good morning @Joshua MartinGreat thing about a VA mortgage is you can do an IRRRL even after you have moved out of the property!

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance. 

I’ve fixed leaks, change toilets and still keep going up.I’m at appoint now when I moved out, I thought I’d be making money because while I lived there  I’d be going even.

Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.
