Hello BiggerPockets Community!

My name is Alexander Merritt and I'm a new member to BP. I have been reading a ton of articles and forum posts, watching videos produced by Brandon and some other BP members, and I thought it's probably a good idea to just go ahead and register and make the most of this community.

I am hoping to begin my adventure into real estate with some guidance and help from you all and hopefull as I gain more experience and success, I'll be be able to return that favor to others.

I am currently in the Baltimore, MD area and looking for opportunities here. My strategy will be buy/hold/landlording to create a "semi-passive" income stream. I say "semi-passive" rather than just "passive" because I know there will be some work that I'm going to have to do even after I have built up my Real Estate Empire. I'm looking at commercial multi-family buildings (aka apartment buildings) but I don't really have any experience with that so I'll probably need to start smaller with maybe a duplex or something.

Anyways, I would appreciate any advice you might have and look forward to contributing to the BP community.

Thanks In Advance,

Alexander Merritt
