While I do not know the Baltimore market, I wanted to add a simple tip that has worked well for me, and even more pertinent if you are planning on self managing:Ask yourself "would I live here?" 

If you're hiding just that simple fact, you aren't comfortable enough with what you're doing, and that's a problem. 

While I may not have been able to buy a place at 19, I would have been able to go to real estate meet ups, maybe get my license and do some contracting work on the side doing something simple with low barrier to entry such as paint or flooring work

Just for the simple fact is you are inexperienced with all of this (Not a bad thing), it would be horrible for you to get burned on the deal.

Anyone have any INEXPENSIVE and simple suggestions as far as making the house look/feel more inviting?

Simple slip ups like this will just waste everyone's time and ultimately lose a client.

@Snehann Kapnadak, most are pretty simple. 5-4-3-2-1: if you sell/refi in year one, you pay a penalty of 5% of loan amount.

If we take a Monthly Average of the Mortgage as it disappears in 30 years, we can get an hourly rate on that as well.So, $800k will disappear in 30 years which is 360 Months.If we take the $800k and divide it by 360... the Monthly simple average (don't worry, I know we should be Amortizing this, but I'm trying to give a simple example) = $2,222 per Month.If we then take the $2,222 per month and divide it by the same 10 hours you have spent managing the property, you will make $222 per hour on just the Mortgage getting paid down!
