Market Potential in Annapolis, MD

[Jacob Evans]

Hello Investors,

My interest towards Real Estate has sparked quite recently due to the help of a coworker. I live in Annapolis, MD and would like to create my first deal in the next year as I progress in my education. I have a full-time job as a Mechanical Engineer but want to build wealth with the desire to provide for my family's future. 

As I have searched around Zillow/loopnet/realtor.com/etc the houses seem to be marked with fairly high value, considering the area (~$400,000 on the low side). Within the next year I would like to house-hack. Is there noticeable potential to invest in this area? What resources do I have to assess the potential in the RE market here?

Any advise is welcomed. Thanks for the listen!
