Returning Newbie from Baltimore,Md

[Tamarra Banks]

Hello BP members,

I've been interested in real estate investing for over four years. I've attended many meetings,seminars ,read many articles and manuals. Unfortunately during that time, I let fear keep me in the analysis paralysis mode. After about 2 yrs, I finally overcame my fears and had the mindset of the Nike slogan, Just Do It. But this time distractions(life,family,church) kept me from moving forward. Now I'm finally sick and tired of not moving forward. I have removed myself from many obligations and finally free and ready to Take Action. I'm now surrounding myself with investors and business minded people so I can continue to move forward.

My desire is to wholesale some properties and purchase my first rental property within the next 6 months. I want to provide quality and safe housing to those using government funded programs for special needs housing, section 8 and the homeless. Baltimore has so many vacant houses and I would like to be an investor that can help revitalize the city.

I'm looking to learn and make connections with those who have triumphed and failed with real estate investing. I want to use the BP resources to further my knowledge to become a successful investor. I want to connect with those who are willing to advise and share their personal experiences. Will also be looking for cash buyers interested in buying in Baltimore city.

Please reach out and connect with me. It's easier when you're surrounded by those who can encourage your journey. So grateful that biggerpockets.com offers so much useful information. Going to listen to the latest podcast now :)
