Lots of great restaurants, cool shops, and the Jones Falls trail is great for biking or running (with a buddy, because it can get somewhat secluded).

My buddy out in L.A. bought a free standing, mom & pop style greasy spoon restaurant from a guy.

Remember that time we got Mexican food?

They are built for this with full blown amenities (lazy rivers, restaurants, game rooms, clubhouses etc).7.

The property would be mostly used for short term rentals, and I'd stay there during vacant periods.Here's my question: Is it better to buy an upscale townhouse that is near shopping and restaurants in a higher density area (about 3 miles from the ocean), or a more modest townhouse of the same type (3/2) that is in a sparsely populated area but is within walking distance of the ocean (not a beach, just shoreline).Both properties are new construction that allow STR.

This is a very interesting question in deed....If you check out the book "Irrational Predictability" they have a very interesting case study on a subject similar to this one.Their findings were that if you decide to compensate someone partially for works they have voluntarily done then you cheapen the the entire scenario and actually leave the person being compensated more agitated than if you didn't compensate them at all.....Reason being when they do something voluntarily they get their pay from "Feeling good about doing something"....But when you introduce payment to the scenario instead of feeling good about doing something nice....They compare the pittance that you are offering to what they would normally be paid....and that serves as an insult....My suggestion would be to send him a note of appreciation with a gift card to an area restaurant....This allows him to know that you really appreciate his help and it doesn't set up a scenario of comparison to his normal fees.Eric Medemar
