Whoa Nelly! Could Barclay be the next "Canton" (sans waterfront!)?

Barclay redevelopment project could start next year - baltimoresun.com
The overall plan calls for $85 million in redevelopment of vacant lots and vacant and rundown rowhouses, including some public housing, in the Barclay/Midway/Old Goucher neighborhoods. It would be built in four phases over a decade and include rentals and homes for sale among an estimated 322 units. The area is bounded by North Avenue, 25th Street, North Calvert Street and Greenmount Avenue.


Foreclosure...good news...?

Maryland Daily Record
Maryland as the 15th-worst state in the nation for foreclosures, with 18,112 homes, or 0.78 percent of the state’s total housing stock, in some stage of the process

Bill Walsh to be in town

This week's MAREIA meeting should be a good one.

The featured speaker is none other than Bill Walsh, the international entrepreneur, marketing expert and business success coach. It is to be my distinct pleasure to be his personal driver for the evening, during which time I hope to get some freebies from him. At least a marketing tip or two. I'll report back here for sure, so stay tuned.

For more on Bill Walsh, visit his site at BillWalsh360.com. For details about Monday night's meeting (or to reserve a seat), go to MAREIA's event page.

See you there!

Looking for buyers!

Obviously every real estate investor is looking for sellers. The proverbial "highly motivated seller" please. Lots of them!

But this investor is also looking for buyers. Also, lots of them!

I have been trying to sell my house for about 6 weeks now. This week I broke down and listed it on the MLS. I do NOT want to become a highly motivated seller! So please, buy my house! Or at least, send this to a buyer you know.

Details, pictures, and a video walk through available on my selling site, SellHouseBaltimore.com.
