If you think something on the inspection was unreasonable you can call the tenants case manager and explain why.

I've been looking into getting into purchasing rental properties in Baltimore recently but have found that there are some hurdles special to Baltimore.

I think the biggest hurdle is finding good PMs.

If they've done things to the property, or adjusted the operating statement to reflect unreasonably low expenses etc., they should assume that those could very well cause a retrade while the property is under contract.

What personal hurdles (mental, financial, or otherwise) did you overcome to close your first deal?

I think the biggest hurdle today between law enforcement and civilians is that the average person has no idea what the job/life is like.

That gives you an extra 10 days above the small apartment vac rate to handle any extra hurdles with a larger property and a smaller tenant pool.

Cross that hurdle and your halfway there!

However, the high property values, intense competition, and New York's taxes and regulations pose some hurdles.

@Rey Jean If you haven't done anything real estate related before then I would suggest trying to start in your current market or at least one you can drive to starting out since there's so many moving pieces and mental hurdles to jump through.
