Public school teacher starting real estate investment journey

[Nina Diehl]

Good morning,Bigger Pockets Forums, 

Today I’m doing the inspection of what I hope becomes my first real estate investment.

I spent the last 2 months reading, listening to podcasts, talking to other investors, combing through listings, and visiting properties in Baltimore near where I live.  I also spent a good deaL of time convincing my husband that this is a good deal. 

I'm confident I found a decent deal for this market that brings cash flow and appreciation. I was hoping for a BRRRR but it's a little risky for me at my skill level at this point. I even put an offer in on a great BRRRR in Baltimore's Patterson Park but was outbid, likely by an LLC that already has its own contractors ready to go.

Crossing my fingers that all goes well in the inspection and I’ll move on to the next steps of property management.
