Often times I find getting a second set of eyes on the property and the financials can bring light to certain details that a single person may not catch.    

Hopefully you made it to the meetup and I saw you there otherwise hopefully catch you at the next one!

@Zac LindquistDon't know what exactly the podcast guest was discussing, but probably it was the classic Catch-22 of this business.The two main things your traditional lender is interested in:your credit scoreyour DTI - debt to income ratioThe higher your income, the more loan-worthy you are to traditional lenders.Let's say you have a $70k salary, and that qualifies you for an $X loan.

So if you're comfortable with just a small to medium sized portfolio all the more power especially if you're able to catch deals with cash buys. 

I also listen to the podcasts (almost done catching up on those) and read some of the blog post.

Apparently i was about 2,800 dlls short on my escrow and my payment was about to increase to 2,455 the first year to catch up and will stay at 2,255 after that.

I may just repaint then stage and get it out on the market ASAP to catch the end of snowbird season.

Trying to play catch up from last week, so I am a bit behind!

I asked many questions to try to find out what the catch is, if I need to have any money, if this is legal, etc. and everything seemed to pan out except for the following..  

I am not from Baltimore but it seems like the construction happening in South Baltimore is just the beginning of what I think will spread throughout the city.Also, the amount of rent you can charge compared to the price of the house is very eye catching in Baltimore.
