Damage in individual bedrooms is easy enough, but you won't know who left that huge hole in the wall in the living room.

But I guess this is subjective to the individual wholesaler themselves, shady ones don't care much about the seller, or know about the market, good ones want them to get the most they can get and know what that is. 

There are a lot of multi family properties in Charles village but they will fairly expensive and probably cash flow poorly by my standards.

Although I recently started a good job with a good salary, my previous income taxes have been very poor as I was only working part time.Is it possible to have a chance at a conventional loan?

You'll also have to consider what assets you guys own individually versus as tenants by the entireties.

Best of luck.PS...also make sure that you won't leave yourself too house-poor on your primary home with the HELOC and you factor in the payment cost on that money as well.

If you are a hard working middle income or higher individual you will find the social standards of most lower income to be considerably different.

Straight from the words of Rich Dad Poor Dad.Have you gone to a local real estate meeting yet or REIA?

It's poorly managed and this tenant has sort of been left to his own devices. 

Tenants on paper can be amazing, pass every requirement and still be poor housekeepers/tenants.
