For example, a broker that cold calls an operator and says they're with Cushman or Marcus Millchap will have a different experience than a broker that says they're with XYZ brokerage. 

@Kevin SiAs real estate investors, we constantly weigh the pros and cons of different investment strategies, including the decision between a larger or smaller down payment on rental properties (I prefer smaller anytime I can).

Of course there is alot to think about and everyones opinions will be a little different based on theor experiences.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

I'd start by painting the exterior of the house a different color so it doesn't look as familiar and I’d refresh the front landscape.

Hi Jeffrey,What's the goal here and would you rather own a different type of real estate?

After feeling as if I have done my due diligence and am financially ready to jump in and actually invest, I have been researching different opportunities and areas for investment.

Maybe they communicate differently but have good intentions.

Times this by 15 different buildings and you're going to get shredded by at least a handful of them.

Are there websites, that will giving me the current going rental rates for 2, 3  or 4 bedroom units in the different parts of Baltimore city Maryland?
