I originally got into real estate to help my husband, Jay, who was rehabbing homes over in Baltimore City in Washington Village.  We completed four homes in the City.  They turned out beautiful and we were ready to go.  It proved to be a tough sale though.  A lot of the feedback we got from realtors was that their client would not even get out of the car.  How do you overcome that objection?  We persevered and sold three of the homes and kept one as a rental.  The area has not come up to its expectations.  The City has not cleaned up the drug use and prostitutes in the area.  I believe that is really hurting the value of homes in Washington Village.  Some brave souls are buying.  You can get a beautiful home for a great price.  Gina
