'Crushing it in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate' would be a good read for you.And since I'm already here, a second piece of advice...TIME BLOCK :) That's been a huge help for me recently, I wish I would have done it sooner.

This has been said many times, but Baltimore is really block by block.

So if you're living in Providence, I probably wouldn't recommend buying in Woonsocket for example.The farther away your next property is, the bigger of a mental block you'll have to go over there and take care of things, check up on the property, etc.

Seller  or their agent not friendly at all.Will I loose the deal and earnest money if my funds gets delayed or blocked by bank?

Every other property within two blocks is worth $200,000 or less...I have noticed that the Investors who are looking for Duplexes and Tri's are looking on the East side of I275 because there are not that many on the West side all the way to MacDill AFB.

Would cash for keys still be feasible if there are a large block of tenants involved?

@Joshua T. it’s usually because there are repair issues and the seller knows they will cause the property to fail an FHA appraisal/inspection (and isn’t willing to make those repairs).It could also be that the seller just doesn’t want to deal with an FHA inspection in general since it’s another potential road block / hassle to getting the deal done.That’s because, in addition to the regular property inspection needing to be OK with the buyer, there’s essentially another inspection needing to conform to FHA safety etc. standards to make the bank happy.

I'm hoping that instead of blocking evictions, they pass something similar to section 8 where the government gives tenants in need money to pay their rent.

., a few blocks from the Chattanooga Heart Institute near Orchard Village.

The area was great to the north and west for many miles, but in just a few blocks to both the south and east it got sketchy.
