Good point Ned Carey I didn't think about the time frame the city uses up in getting your money back in hand. Like you showed, it can really change the % rate. While it's still better than the bank it is something that needs to be accounted for in the business model.

Hi Ethan Zweig, welcome to BP. I like you goals and wish the best. There are lots of people her that offer amazing information. Have a great day!

Hi Richard Smith, welcome to BP. There is a wealth of information here. as Ned mentioned the guide is a great place to start. I personally drive a lot and love listening to the podcasts.

Christina R. said "Have you driven Baltimore? That in itself is an education." Oh my... never a truer statement. While Baltimore has lots of great area's I agree with Christina and suggest to spend the day / afternoon driving around and scoping out sections. You will also see that certain area's change from mid day vs. night. So when you narrow it down to a few specific properties maybe check them out in the day and then again in the evening take a ride by. Like Ned Carey said with his 2 block rule (which I like), neighborhood characteristics can change a lot in 2 blocks.

Christina R. , Travis Lauchman Thanks! and Ned Carey that is great advise. I setup my keyword alerts yesterday and I really love that feature of BP.

Great post Aaron Yates! Thank you for sharing your story. I live about 15 minutes from White Marsh so if you get back to the area let me know and we can meet up and talk shop.

Keep on working it and enjoy your meeting this evening!

Hey Steve Babiak thanks for your candor. I'm new in my REI career so I'm still learning. What would make this deal a good one?

Thanks Patrick G. I'm looking forward to meeting a few from the area. Do you attend and local REIA meetings? If so, which one?

Thanks Annette Hibbler Your so right, there is TONS of information here.

Hi Joshua Dorkin, just finished reading the Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing. It contained lots of great information and I wanted to tell you thanks! I enjoyed reading it. The community of BP is wonderful and I totally get what you have created, a place for people to share their real world experiences within real estate investment and help teach others by their past trials; good and bad.

What amazes me is your not hear trying to up sell and promote your own package/coaching/training/sales materials/agenda etc. while all of that is here it's done out of love of sharing and helping others! Good core values Josh...

Have a great day!
