If you’ve had bad experiences with investing in Baltimore since 2015 and feel like some of the properties are crap in some of these areas (that I haven’t mentioned) then that’s fine that’s your opinion and your experience, my opinion is that it isn’t but in no way am I attempting to change anyone’s mind by subtle insults on how they invest it’s best for folks to find out for themselves because what may be crap to you may be a diamond to another which is why I decided to shed light on the good things to take away from these inner city areas.I would assume that you’re still in Baltimore since you didn’t state otherwise so let’s just go with a more positive take on this response.why are you still investing in Baltimore?

Because you succeed with the househack, you are well-positioned, and also highly motivated to go after another property...rinse and repeat, and in 5-6 years, you have 5-6 cashflowing, (hopefully) appreciating, relatively easy to manage LTR single family homes.  ...or, perhaps you go into STRs after you househack--in which case, you will be much better-positioned and much more well-prepared to succeed with the STR (because you'll have the invaluable experiences gained from your previous househack).In skiing, we don't take beginners down double black diamond trails--doing that would endanger them and other people in the area.
