Discover this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property, offering a strong mix of cash flow potential and flexibility for both investors and owner-occupants. Renovated in early 2023, the home features solid systems and updates, with only light cosmetic touches needed to make it your own. The property was previously operated as a shared rental by the room. At present, it is occupied by a single tenant on the lower level, with a lease in place through May 2026—providing stable, immediate rental income of $900 per month from day one. This setup makes it an excellent opportunity for investors seeking a plug-and-play addition to their portfolio—or for a buyer interested in house hacking, with the option to live in part of the home while leveraging rental income to offset the mortgage. The property’s location in a high-demand, renter-friendly area of Baltimore enhances its appeal, with proximity to major commuter routes, public transportation, shopping, and amenities. Employers, universities, and medical centers nearby help maintain a steady pool of potential tenants, while ongoing neighborhood revitalization supports long-term value growth. With its rental income already in place, flexible occupancy potential, and strong location, this property presents a smart opportunity for buyers looking to generate returns without the upfront cost of a full renovation. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure a cash-flowing property with built-in upside—schedule your showing today and explore the potential for both steady returns and long-term growth.

What this means for you Summary

Snapshot

  • This is a 3-bed/1.0-bath townhouse listed at $170k.

Deal economics

  • At list price, monthly cash flow is $296 ($4k/yr) — positive.
  • The deal already cash-flows at list — no discount required.
  • Meets the 1% rule at list price ($2k rent vs $170k).
  • Recommended offer: $150k (12.0% below list) — sets the bar for market timing.
  • Cap rate 8.4% vs local median 6.0% in Baltimore — top-decile yield for the area; either an underpriced asset or a hidden risk that comps aren't pricing in. Stress-test before assuming the spread holds.

Location & tenants

  • Location reads 76/100 on livability (#90 in MD, #3,396 nationally) — a middle-class / working-renter tenant base. Strengths: amenities A+, commute A+, housing A+; Watch: schools D, crime F.
  • Baltimore City Public Schools (urban): math 7% / reading 16% proficiency, ranked #24 of 24 in MD (top 100%) — low school quality limits family demand, transient renter base, plan for 1-2y turnover; 79% free/reduced lunch — lower-income household profile, screen leases tightly.
  • Market conditions: Rents rising fast (+5.2%/yr); 319 active listings in the ZIP; 40 comparable units currently listed for rent nearby; rentals at typical pace (median 25d on market — plan ~3-4 weeks tenant-placement turnaround); 1,273 units permitted in Baltimore city in 2024 (1,104 in 5+ unit buildings).
  • This rent runs 40% of the median local income ($51k/yr) — at the standard rent-burdened threshold; future hikes will face affordability resistance.

Forward outlook

  • In year one you build about $209 of equity ($1k loan paydown + $-966 appreciation (-0.6% local appreciation)).
  • Baltimore County population projected to shrink 4% by 2050 — rents likely to lag national; underwrite the cash flow, not the appreciation.
  • At projected returns (-0.6% appreciation + 5.2% rent growth), your $48k cash investment doubles in ~8 years — after that, you're playing with house money.

Negotiation context

  • It's been on market 174 days — a 12% lower offer ($150k) is reasonable based on typical stale-listing flexibility.
  • 6 sale attempts since 9y ago with the ask held roughly flat each time — persistent listings suggest the price (not the market) is what's stuck; bring a comps-based counter.
  • Current owner paid $70k; list at $170k implies a 143% gain — meaningful room to come down on a strong offer.

Risks & watch-outs

  • Watch-outs: built in 1920 — expect roof / HVAC / electrical / plumbing capex.
  • Climate carrying-cost: major wind risk, 27% chance of damaging wind over 30y; extreme-heat days projected 7→15/yr by 2055 (HVAC capex compounding) — expect insurance premiums to compound above CPI over the hold.
Recommended offer $149,600 (12.0% below list)

Questions for the listing agent

  1. It's been on market 174 days. Have you received any prior offers? Is the seller open to a 12% concession, seller financing, or rate buy-down credit?
  2. Built in 1920 — when were the roof, HVAC, electrical panel, plumbing, and water heater last replaced?
  3. Why hasn't it sold? Are there any deal-killer items the seller is aware of (foundation, flood, title, zoning, code violations)?
  4. Is there a deadline driving the sale (1031 exchange, divorce, estate, relocation)? That informs how much negotiation room exists.
  5. Schools are D-rated, which usually means shorter tenancies and higher turnover. Who's the typical renter profile here, and what's been the actual vacancy rate?
  6. Crime grade is F in this area — have there been break-ins, vandalism, or insurance claims at this property in the last 3 years? What carrier currently insures it and at what premium?
  7. What's the average days-on-market for RENTAL listings here right now (not sales)? A rising rental-DOM trend means longer vacancies and softer asking-rent achievability than the comps imply.
  8. What's the recent tenant-quality profile in this submarket — average credit score on applications, eviction rate, late-payment / NSF rate, and stable-employment percentage? A property-management company in the area should have these aggregated.
  9. How much new for-sale + rental construction is in the pipeline within 1–3 miles? Heavy new supply typically softens prices + rents 12–24 months out; constrained supply supports both.

    Discover this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom property, offering a strong mix of cash flow potential and flexibility for both investors and owner-occupants. Renovated in early 2023, the home features solid systems and updates, with only light cosmetic touches needed to make it your own. The property was previously operated as a shared rental by the room. At present, it is occupied by a single tenant on the lower level, with a lease in place through May 2026—providing stable, immediate rental income of $900 per month from day one. This setup makes it an excellent opportunity for investors seeking a plug-and-play addition to their portfolio—or for a buyer interested in house hacking, with the option to live in part of the home while leveraging rental income to offset the mortgage. The property’s location in a high-demand, renter-friendly area of Baltimore enhances its appeal, with proximity to major commuter routes, public transportation, shopping, and amenities. Employers, universities, and medical centers nearby help maintain a steady pool of potential tenants, while ongoing neighborhood revitalization supports long-term value growth. With its rental income already in place, flexible occupancy potential, and strong location, this property presents a smart opportunity for buyers looking to generate returns without the upfront cost of a full renovation. Don’t miss this opportunity to secure a cash-flowing property with built-in upside—schedule your showing today and explore the potential for both steady returns and long-term growth.

For passive investors: Depreciation is non-cash, so a rental often shows a tax loss while cash-flowing — sheltering income. Rental losses are passive: they offset passive income freely, and up to $25,000/yr can offset ordinary (W-2) income if you actively participate and your MAGI is under $100k (phasing out to $0 by $150k); unused losses carry forward. On sale, claimed depreciation is recaptured at up to 25%, and gains may owe capital-gains tax (a 1031 exchange can defer both). Figures are a year-1 estimate at your 24.0% rate — not tax advice; consult a CPA.
