This is something I've been trying to figure out. Getting numbers to work at 20-25 units is tricky with a PM.

Imo this doesn't sound good for baltimore city. Most investors I know personally who are in the city look for 15% to 20% caps because of turnover, lead issues, lawsuits, court, utility court, ect.
Just a though on my part in that area.

Also did you factor in for pest control? Water, sewer, snow, trash?

Insurance is 1200.00 a month? I'd factor in a pm also just so you have it. Numbers look good though imo.

need more information before I could run the numbers. Insurance, maintenance, cap expense, ect.
How old is the property? Utilities? Trash removal? Snow, ect?
Comes down to what you are looking for in the return.
