Greetings From Baltimore, Maryland
Hi Everyone,
Just came across this site and thought it would be a good idea to join.
I am a retired Federal Gov't employee after 40 years. Retired for almost 6 years.
Real Estate has always been very interesting to me and for that reason I became a Real Estate Agent several years ago. However, I found that was not for me. I was hearing all the noise about being an investor without any money! Was hard to believe but I delved into learning everything I could about it. I've digested a lot of learning and now hopefully, I can start to implement what I have learned. I have found that it is not an easy task, but I still believe it can be done and is being done. I am honestly struggling to get my first wholesale deal done. Finding a list of buyers was easier than finding real motivated sellers. I'm working without any funds so I really want to get some completed wholesale deals under my belt, but finding properties is harder than I expected. That goes for bird dogging as well. But, I'm not giving up this time. I just have to find that "something" that I must be missing to make this happen.
Happy to join the family!
