If I were you, I would look in depth into the numbers and being a landlord, as a long time landlord, I would tell you that paying 100k per 2 bed apartment needing work (even in Hamden) is rather pricey, and id be willing to bet that the listing agent knows that also. if the place were ready to go/updated, different story....bet your potential tenants will know that also. keep in mind, being a landlord means you will have to do at least the following:1. lead certs (an annoying expensive hassle every time a tenant changes over) or you could go lead free, prepare for that expense.2. rent court/evictions (might happen)...rent the movie pacific heights3. repairs/maintenance....particularly in an older building already needing some work.4. water bills....Baltimore city government's version of rape....prepare to pay every bit of 500 a quarter in a place like that, more if you have boilersAnd most of all YOU WILL BE LIVING AMONGST YOUR TENANTS. think of all the potential hassles that may present for you. baring the warnings, the house is in a good location, will rent easily if its clean and functional, and will appreciate to some extent over time. rent probably wont be a very big deal to get from people renting in this area, particularly at those rental prices. very important to know the functional condition of this property, particularly its functional systems (plumbing, electric, hvac, roof) and know exactly what being a landlord means. you will be doing work to earn that rent every month.

13 April 2014 | 1 reply
I am looking for advice on what I can do while I am younger to make myself better prepared for investing in the future, because the last thing that I want to do is graduate college and find myself utterly unprepared for anything (granted, I will be unprepared for many things, but the goal here is to be prepared for as much as possible.)I don't spend much, for the most part I put gas in my parents' Prius every now and then and I buy the occasional movie ticket or candy bar - but I save most of my paycheck.So, my biggest question is, what can I do to set myself up for success?
