Yeah good luck with that unless you're buying properties in Detroit or Flint, Michigan.
Baltimore. It's about the same as Detroit or Flint, just not quite as bad.
The house next to me is a decent two-story rowhome, and sold for $23,500. Not the down payment, but the actual whole home.
How much could you rent it out for a month?
I was going to ask the same question. I am surprised that you can find such cheap homes in the states.
Anon i would appreciate if you could bust a datasheet about Baltimore, there is none on here.
This is a great time to purchase properties. There is nice apartments and townhouses that can be had for 80K in my city and much cheaper if it needs renovations.
Put a decent down payment on a 30 yr fixed and you can rent it out for well over the monthly mortgage.
Is there anyway to do this as purely an investor? If I pay a manager (I hear the going rate is 10% or rent) to fix the toilets, replace bulbs, collect the rent etc. Can I rent a house in Detroit or Baltimore and never ever have to see it more than once?
Are there any particular cities which would be best to buy a property? I'd want to buy something as is for more and not have to worry about renovations.
On pure whim I feel like Baltimore could see an upswing. Detroit just seems like its going to suck forever and never come back.
