Newbie investor to buy around Hopkins

[Hong Zhu]

Hello, Fellow investors,

I'm looking to buy around Johns Hopkins Medical Center and rent it out to staff and students in the hospital. My budget is around 200K. I saw a few properties along Orlean St around this price point but they've all been on the market for a while. Is there a reason why they are not desirable? Should I look closer to properties around Patterson Park? 

I worked in Baltimore a few years ago but moved to Virginia due to a job change. I'm sure a lot has changed since we moved.  Does anyone have any insight into the market in the Johns Hopkins area these days?

Thanks!
