Getting Started in Maryland Investing

[Lauren Frost]

Hi all!

I am getting started in real estate investing in Maryland. I am currently a property manager and have bought/sold some homes for others as a Realtor, but I've never personally owned real estate myself. I'm very comfortable with managing rental properties and have a good foundation in how to evaluate them - however, I'm trying to figure out what avenues of investing I should explore.

I would love to have some rental properties. I have heard both good and bad things about wholesaling, but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. I'm also interested in learning more about creative financing techniques and lease-options.

I am in search of a Mentor in the Harford County/Baltimore County area of Maryland who would be willing to guide me through some deals and teach me a thing or two, possibly in exchange for tenant placement or free help in finding deals. Any advice in general would be appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
