Capitol Heights, MD Neighborhood

[Alex Hymanson]

Hi all,

Anyone have thoughts on the Capitol Heights, MD neighborhood?  I'm headed there to view a rowhouse this weekend.  What type of neighborhood would you consider it?  B or C?

Thanks,

Alex

It all depends on your strategy.  I'm with @Mark Cruse, if the numbers work they work.  Everybody needs a place to live and the rent from a C/D neighborhood spends just as well as from an A/B neighborhood (let's hide the bias).  I have rentals in A/B neighborhoods as well as C/D, the money looks the same and tenants are a pain.  Where you live may not be where you rent.  Is our goal to rent something we would live in?  If so why?  Is it a perception thing, where we only own A/B homes?  These are questions not directed to the poster but asked rhetorically.  Put your investor hat on.  A rental is a rental.
