My end goal is to supplement my income and transition out of my day job into a lifestyle similar to Mr.

I'm a traveling physical therapist looking to transition out of working in the clinic and treating patients in the next 2-3 years by building passive income through real estate!

This is one of those situations where as a landlord you are a bit of a problem solver to make the transition as painless for all parties, especially yourself.

It's in a transitional area, lots of activity and some really nice remodels selling well within just a couple of blocks, but there is a halfway house across the street, an abandoned property a few doors down, and there was a break-in at the duplex when the unit was vacant.I'd like to increase the curb appeal and safety "feel" of the property by adding some outdoor lighting.

I am currently Active Duty military transitioning from the service and am taking the online courses to get my license in the great state of Texas. 

Btw, our focus are on buy and hold single family units in transitioning neighborhoods in Baltimore.

I also felt that he understood my goals for real estate investing (buy and hold single-family homes in transitional neighborhoods in Baltimore).

I don't want to have a huge list and blast out mass deals to a bunch of buyers, not in the market for that particular deal.

Transition Planning as the Family Situation Changed How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Anything with mass with help.
