Advise you to get a minimum of 3 bids for each item. $10k for a roof (at least here in my area) would be pretty low for most triplexes unless its a small area and no gables/valleys et) A new sewer line to the street often based on total length.

This option would require assembling a local team as I'm considering forgoing a property manager.D) Invest in a Better Maryland Area: The goal would be to find a property with higher appreciation potential, though I'm aware that the cash flow might not match what I'm currently achieving.Given the unique circumstances of my current investment—significant appreciation, a specific tenant base, and a low mortgage rate—I'm weighing these options carefully.

Let me know if you have any more specific questions.

I am not sure that they are taking my specific house into account, but clearly I need to do more research.

So if it's within a specific city, they should have a planning dept, usually in the same building/complex as city hall, or if area is with an are that is unincorporated county, then call/go to the planning dept for that county. 

Also, if you have an HOA just make sure, their specifications are also included. 

I live nestled in a high tech area with friends who work in data security and its a common question/concern so it doesn't trigger undue alarm.Good argument for a bonded/insured PM in providing a layer of protection for both tenant and landlordTalking specific to just data security. 

With the number of available properties being that low you could honestly analyze every one of them so the specific zip codes and areas aren't as important as if you were looking with criteria that offered hundreds of results.I'd recommend getting on the list for some local wholesalers to help and increase the number of potential properties that you are exposed to. 

Send me a DM if you want to discuss specific locations, getting connected to the right "team" etc.

If there is enough equity at the 6 month mark you could do it then but there may not be much of a tangible benefit unless there is a PITI savings.If you are able to do some renovation in the first (6) months it might be possible to do it on the 6th month mark based on a higher renovation ARV.If you have any specific questions feel free to message me or reach out I am always happy to help and talk REI.
