Where about in Baltimore are you looking to invest? There are alot of different choices, I think it just depends on what your goals are (rent and hold for a while, or rehab and sell).
YuP.
Plenty of others investing in Balto. for you to learn from, get involved with for sure.
Take a peek at the HUD foreclusure list for Balto. ; should still be huge.
You should be able to do anything you want to in that area. Just look at what happened in Camden the last few years. I understand there is another area that investors are buying up because of something that is slated for a big change. Ask around.

thanks. Iam looking to rehab. Iwill be use hardmoney.
I personally am a suburb investor; Balto. too complicated and risky for me. However, few thoughts to contribute:
1. Brooklyn was mentioned. Know that A.A. Co. runs up to parts of Brooklyn, so there is a difference in prices depending on the counties. If I was keeping, I would pay for AA, rehabber might not care and should buy cheaper and sell cheaper in Balto. Co./city.
2. Some areas are attracting from DC now, so research areas gentrifying for better potential $$.
3. Research Canton to see where those investors are changing next. See why to follow them.
4.IF planning to landlord, know landlord laws first for Balto. city. Heard tough.
You need to water down that paint for the sprayer to work correctly. They make a solution for it but plain old water works just as good, uses less paint, and goes on smooth!
i would remove whatever your GOING to take out and then paint. why paint first! use a paint brush and do the trim first letting the paint fall on the walls and /or floors etc and then cut with a brush into the trim with the wall paint. then roll out the walls
its an easy job, using a sprayer with all the things in your way that you are going to remove is a waste of time and money[ Edited by tmesa on Date 09/20/2005 ]
I have used that method a couple of times. I use a high gloss latex for the woodwork and flat sheen for the walls. The overspray of the high gloss sometimes require a couple of coats to not show through the flat wall paint. The next time I do it I am going to try cutting in with a primer over the high gloss paint overspray first.

Per rental ... what do you need?
Per partner ... what have you in mind.
I know somebody w/a townhome on Portugal St. (Fells Point area?) waiting for it to season. How long are you looking to rent?

Hi Ted,
You need to water down that paint for the sprayer to work correctly. They make a solution for it but plain old water works just as good, uses less paint, and goes on smooth!
make sure you use good paint,I would reccomend a oil based paint or enamel.
