So I have noticed on gosection8 and a few other posts in this forum that Baltimore has a huge surplus of section8 housing and too few tenants (at least compared to the number of units available, looks like 235 right now.)

If you take an equity position, you have to be ready to be in the "wait for your money/landlord business" instead of making money now.

If I'm making 1K positive cash flow after rehab, in 5 years that amounts to 60K, but if you pay it towards the principal in another 5 years your mortgage is gone and your cash flow is more than doubled.

In order to get positive cash flow, I'd have to stretch the rent amount just to break even.Another financing option would be to re-fi the condo again, basically re-finance remaining $66,000 amount with 20% down @ 5% on a 30-yr fixed:Rent Summary: I'd have to re-fi & put 20% down in order to have good CoC return (down payment + improvements + agent fee + closing costs), as well as a positive, somewhat plausible cash flow.

@David D'Errico I've noticed Smoketown getting a lot of attention as well and it seems to still have high crime, but some of the flips there are beautiful inside.
