Interestingly, our local politics is one of the draws for STR investors in this region.Hope this helps provide a local perspective!

If you are open to a neighboring town in Florida and have a good cash position, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green who is a local investor/investor focused agent and runs a property management company for his clients in the Tampa Bay/St.Petersburg area. 

I also own and manage several investment properties in the area, so I understand both the investor side and the local market dynamics.

Hey Kyle,I can respect where these questions come from, but the reality is that very few investors do enough foreclosure auction purchases to have a large enough sample size to have the data to answer this. 

Maryland has its own landlord tenant laws, and Baltimore has some local requirements too, so I’d start by checking those resources.A lot of investors find it helpful to have a local attorney draft or review the lease just to make sure everything is solid from the beginning. 

As real estate investors, we often focus on the numbers: cash flow, operating expenses, property appreciation.

I’ve heard of investors doing major renovations under a Novation agreement.

If you're looking to sell it yourself, you can try listing it on platforms like investorlift, but most of the investors there are looking for fixer upper deals. 

If you want to get more hands-on, following experienced hosts on social media or joining local real estate investor meetups can help you learn from people actively doing it.

Midterm is difficult to calculate because there's not a lot of other investors doing furnished midterm rentals.
