How is it legal for states to block evictions, yet require payment of property taxes? 

@Fady HabibI would say it has different blocks that range from B to C+.

I would suggest googling Block Real Estate Market Report - they put out a decent report on all ways to invest in KC and a snap shot of the economy at large that while targeted to commercial investing, helps the single family investor.You can also go to KCRAR.org the local realtor board to get market data.Houses and small multi family is hard to come by, a good deal has 10 offers and sells in 24 hours.Contractors are also hard to come by, the good ones are 3 to 4 months out unless you know a guy.And personally, I would avoid Kansas City Missouri because the KC Tenants  (that's an organization) are waging war on the Housing provider, chaining themslves to courthouse doors or photo ops, and getting restrictive laws passed. 

Fortunately my dad had photos and was able to show that it actually was added in the 1950's and permits were not required for block construction patios back then. 

Yes, we had to leave our cosy luxury apartment community with all the amazing amenities and move to our newly purchased duplex in the city, where we could not find parking until we drove around the block a few times.

Since I don't DM here on BiggerPockets, you'll need to call me at the phone number visible below in my signature block (provided you're on the desktop app and not your cellphone).ILTFP!

Govans is not great area for one.It is close to Towson but it does not mean anything, it is also close to Tunbridge which is a pretty crowded area right around at night, there is some " trade" going on there and pretty much everybody knows it :D)))your cash flow is not a cash flow actually, it is money left for you until some kind of a repairs comes up, you need to consider that as well.You will always have  vacancy there unless house is really nice inside, even with that you might still have it. ( I dont know exact block) this is pretty educated guess.I would suggest connecting one of the investor / realtor here in BP.They can point you to right direction in Baltimore. 

If it's Cadets or baseboard heat, make sure they are not shoving a sofa in front of the heat to block airflow.

During the summer unkempt bushes blocked my grand view or the parking lot.

You would then need to link the calendars so that if a 1 bedroom listing gets booked, the 2 bedroom listing would automatically get blocked for those dates.
