WalletHub ranked the best places in the country to rehab a home to turn the best profit, scoring metros on house-flipping market potential, renovating and remodeling costs and quality of life — all of which had maximum scores of 35.

According to Tim Montoya, a Realtor with Long & Foster Real Estate, there are 6,763 current listings in Baltimore County. Nearly half of them are condos listed under $300,000. From June to July, median and average list prices didn’t shift too much, according to Montoya’s data.
