Adam Boyer+FollowBaltimore home flip hits $160K snag over landmark statusBuying a fixer-upper in Baltimore just turned into a $160,000 headache for one local flipper, all because her neighbor pushed to make the property a historical landmark—without her knowing. Cassandra London planned to restore the old Maroney House, but landmark rules mean every window now has to be a pricey, historically accurate replica—$4,000 each instead of the $250 she budgeted. Beyond the sticker shock, selling a home with these restrictions is way tougher. Some on the county council say it’s unfair for outsiders to landmark someone else’s house. Should neighbors have this much say over your property? #Home #Baltimore #RealEstate00Share
