Who Is
Mark Reed?
Mark Reed has been investing in real estate since 1998, having purchased, renovated and managed his first property in Los Angeles. He built his portfolio to 11 units in Los Angeles before moving to Washington, DC in 2005. Mark then purchased, renovated and managed a 2-unit rowhome in Northeast DC.
In 2017, Mark began investing in Baltimore. His first purchases were 4 rowhomes on the 2200 Block of Henneman Street in East Baltimore. Mark currently owns and manages 16 rental units in Baltimore City. In 2019, he began developing blighted, vacant rowhomes in Baltimore City commonly referred to as “shells.”
Mark’s current project is located on the 2100 Block of East Chase Street in the Collington Square neighborhood. This project involves the complete renovation and restoration of 12 rowhomes, many of which have been vacant and blighted for over 25 years.
