Investing in Florida from Maryland

[Sean Beksinski]

So I know this is going to spark a ton of controversy because I am a newer investor. However the Baltimore area Isn’t somewhere I want to invest for personal reasons. I don’t plan to live in Maryland for too much longer anyways. That being said after the constant tragedy’s in Florida/South Carolina/Puerto Rico with the constant destruction from hurricanes I feel like it’s a great calling for me to jump in and get invested somewhere where i can make a difference. Not to mention the prices can be a lot cheaper then my area. So back to the discussion I have started the book “long distance real estate investing” by David Greene. I haven’t finished the book yet but I know that it will help fill in the blanks I may miss from everyone’s comments. I appreciate the feedback and constructive criticism anyone may give( BESIDES your dumb you need to Invest local). That being said what would you do if you where me ? I’m new to real estate I have a plumbing/gasfitting background. I’m 21 years old without a home of my own ( so I’m very new to real estate. But I have been studying it a lot the past couple months). H
