New guy from Baltimore planning for the future

[Andy Gross]

Hey All!

I joined about a month ago looking for the good word on tax lien certificates in Baltimore, MD, and I am finally getting around to introducing myself.

My name is Andy, and I am from the Baltimore area. Work has me in Hawaii right now, but I am going to move back in the near future. My long term goal is to build a portfolio of rentals that will generate passive income so that I can move into larger scale development. I could also see myself flipping/rehabbing houses.

Right now, I am sitting on the sidelines, building the war chest, and researching the business before I return to glorious Charm City. I am looking to meet anyone from the area that shares the same goals. In the meantime, I have been going through all the old podcasts to educate myself on what others have done right.

As far as my own real estate background, I worked on some of my family's properties in College Park. My dad, his brother, and some fellow investors bought some properties as rentals and I would jump in from time to time doing maintenance on breaks from school. I came close to purchasing some properties a few times, but never pulled the trigger because I was too busy with other obligations....like law school. Luckily, I missed the bubble.

When I am not working, I enjoy SCUBA diving with my wife, brewing beer, running, cooking, and reading.

Anyhow, looking to make introductions. Cheers and Aloha!

Andy
