Unless you do the labor yourself/have a company with skilled laborers, you're gonna get close to $200k.

But really tho, if you won billions in the lottery would you really be rehabbing homes in Baltimore or would you just leave and take care of your family and call it done?

Also, if you really wanted to help people, you could just go the crony capitalist route and get donations in gov, but instead of greasing up palms for your own benefit, you donate for the purpose of benevolence. You would get a lot more bang for your buck via lobbying than just fixing up houses.

I dunno. I've had the same idle thoughts as the OP when I see the lottery prizes over a billion. I figure if I was that rich, there are way worse things I can do than take the Jimmy Carter route.

There are 14,000 vacants in Baltimore, if it’s $100k on average to renovate…
