As a private lender I wanted to chime in on this to help add some value.First, finding a private lender that would be willing to lend up to 100% of everything needed may not be viable in the current lending environment.

How do you see the current market environment affecting wholesaling for coming 1-2 years? 

Similarly, transactional volume has dwindled considerably year-over-year due to the rising interest rate environment.

Most of the homes there were built pre-1978 and so in addition to a Baltimore County Rental License (you can find more info on the steps you need to take at this link), you'll also need to get a Maryland Department of the Environment Lead Certificate (you can find more info on the steps you need to take at this link).You'll need two inspections done, one for the rental license and one for the lead cert.

I theory buying a multi family that cash flows shouldn’t hurt your ability to qualify for another house later, the issue is a lot of stuff in the nice parts of Baltimore are hard to cash flow with todays rates (if you can even find them at all) I’ll be honest if I wanted a single family home in the suburbs I’d just do that, in this current market environment, to me keeping it simple, buying something you want to live in 1st and a investment 2nd is the way to go.

The brokerage does not dictate the edu you get, the support, environment none of that.

Hi Oscar, I have rented in L.A. and I have had my share of bad landlords.The landlord has a duty to provide a habitable environment.

And for what it’s worth as well I found a level of comfort in paying for a course taught by someone was passionate about bringing bike lanes to Clemson rather than buying exotic cars.In my opinion the course was very much worth it – my biggest takeaways were learning how to run the numbers on a property, analyze a market/neighborhood, learned the lingo and vocab, and built up my confidence to start taking the actions needed to get started.Pros:Live Zoom calls with Chad and other experienced investors across the country and using different investing strategiesSelf-paced tutorials with lifetime accessNetworking through the community – I have found a mentor from taking the courseValuable materials like analysis spreadsheets, scripts for interviewing property managers, and all of Chad’s other courses (included)Welcoming environment, easy to ask beginner questionsChad really is like a Coach and you can communicate directly with him about the course or a deal you are working onI honestly don’t have any cons.

Living on an island, with a more limited fresh water ground source we are extremely conscience of not only well contamination but contamination into our surrounding marine environment.

The rest of my advice would be about surrounding yourself with the right people in your new environment.
