Has anyone taken a deep dive into the neighborhood statistics report recently published by the Baltimore  Neighborhoods Indicator  Alliance. 2015 data and some nice  interactive  charts you can use to compare neighborhoods.

Some element of the prospective tenant is creating doubts in you.

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

With the cabins I do want to capitalize on the interest that interacting with farm animals could spark on guests, but I'd have to account for the extra labor that this will generate, insurance, etc.

The hard money lenders I’ve interacted with want projects with a higher value. 

Good to also think about the deduction element. 

It appears that you lost confidence in the original property management company and realize that if you want satisfactory results you may need to handle some or most of the remaining interactions yourself.If that is the case, be clear in your own mind on what you reasonably expect her to pay for. 

I prefer the 1-1 interaction to get to know them as well.Thanks again and I wish you all the luck. 

What price range, finishes, what design elements make them stand out to you? 

But, if you're going to do this as a business, it's much, much smarter to build these elements into your company, and not pay the overhead of hiring full-service for everything you do.
