Housing inventory to sales are about twenty to one. That's four times the historical ratio. All bubbles return to the historical trend. Baltimore is a poor city, and I suspect that many houses, occupied by subprime home-moaners facing resets, will be abandoned there. An abandoned house reduces the value of all houses for that market (and, thanks to CMOs, all houses globally). stop listening to the bubbleheads. Housing inventory to sales are about twenty to one.

However you must exercise caution and get familiar with areas and values. Baltimore is a block by block city meaning the values can fluctuate wildly in the same neighborhood. Also most people in the city rent so picking up rentals at a good price is always a good strategy as long as you provide a good safe home for your tenants. Also fixing up and renting can be very profitable. Or fixing up and selling to landlords. With that being said, the first thing to learn is how to find deals. I first learned to find deals and after that my life became easier as the leads I didnt use I sold to other investors and picked up fees on properties I didn't own. How cool is that? A guide that was useful to me was the insiders guide to getting an investment property, found at www.83daystoriches.com Also there are some active real estate investor groups in baltimore. I would check out MAREIA. There are alot of good investors in that group. In a word- YES! However you must exercise caution and get familiar with areas and values.
