New to Investing $ considering Baltimore Md

[Jasmin Mcduffie]

Hi I'm new to real estate investing and haven't purchased my first property yet. I live in DC and the prices here are expensive for buy and hold property so I've started looking at Baltimore. It's close to me and seem to have a number of less expensive properties. I'm not familiar with the city and have started to research areas and visiting on the weekends Is there anyone investing in Baltimore that has recommendations for areas to focus on / areas to avoid? Any recommendations for real estate agents familiar with residential investment properties? Thank you Jasmin
