Wondering how that would work since I've owned it for 4 years now.Unfortunately there is no benefit to you unless you have a buyer that is wanting to "substantially improve" the condo, i.e. double the improvement basis. 

I suggest connecting with a local real estate agent who knows Baltimore and works regularly with investors and retail buyers to help you get a better handle on your needs and then guide you in the right direction.Good luck, welcome to the Baltimore market, and welcome to Bigger Pockets!  

The thought was to use the low downpayment offered for home buyers, buy a rehab , fix and sell.

Buyer marketing?

As Denver has just been rated the hardest place for a first time home buyer, I've started a list of things that I think help our clients, but am interested in what other BP agents and people have to add to help make it easier for first time home buyers.Write a strong offer letter that's personalized to the place and makes you seem like someone the seller wants to help outIf you know the owner still lives in the place, consider mailing your letter so that it stands out from emailMake your offer as close to cash as possible - this is possible if you go further into the lending process than just getting pre-qualifiedConsider a market that's still appealing, but less expensive and up and coming (aka, talking to you Colorado Springs)Go with a local lender- local lenders return phone calls, work off hours and know contacts in the area- they can make the seller's life (and their agent's life) much easierBe as flexible as possible with your time.

I do not invest for appreciation and prefer that appreciation to be driven by rental rates not economy driven home buyers.

So I'm in the process of purchasing a quadplex in South Florida, I put in an offer 5k more than asking because buyers are really aggressive here I lost out on a few good deals here to other investors so I wanted to get aggressive, and I'll make 17% cash on cash ROI with all my expenses allocated even at 5k more than asking.

Hello guys anyone know of good title companies in ri that are able to do double closings.Also if it matters i am bringing my own funds and not using any buyer funds

I used to use $30/foot as a decent ballpark figure for renovations, but it seems like renovation costs have gone up quite a bit, $40-50/ft has been the new reality lately, but of course it's tough to put a 'per-foot' number on any particular project because everything is unique.Mobiles on their own land can be flipped, just pay attention to the age, anything before 1976 will pretty much have to be sold on a contract or to a cash buyer.

If you can come to the city to visit that helps but often, as a majority of properties are "curb offers only", buyers will come out for inspections after the offer is made and then go home and complete the rest of deal form there.
