We got an AMAZING deal on a house, had like 5" of standing water in the crawl space, all because the power was off, so the subpump wasn't working.. once we turned it on, majority of the water cleared out!

Since they have concentrated their purchases into pockets of major cities, it means it will be hard to command top dollar if you are selling 10 homes on the same block.

Looking for a recommended contractor  for a major renovation project.

My partner and I are looking at purchasing a rowhome in Baltimore close to Johns Hopkins and a major hospital (Charles Village neighborhood), rehabbing it and holding as a rental.

@Chase Gochnauer  that's my exact point your STUCK.. small value assets are hard to sell.. in non appreciating markets.. and harder to 1031 since you have so little money coming out of them.Also the major issue is many folks have no experience being landlords become landlords and don't care for it.. so it really does not matter they just want out...

Especially if you have a decent job where it takes the majority of your time.
