 ***UPDATE*** This property has sold
 
In Baltimore's Hampden neighborhood along a stretch of Roland Ave, just below The Avenue, there has been a significant amount of real estate flipping over the past two years. Fixer upper houses are being acquired in the 100's and being re-sold in the 300's.
 
 
 
 
In both the sale of the fixer-uppers and the renovated properties the days on market both in the acquisition and the resale are questionably long. Why? I've got a few theories...
