I'm a NEWBIE!!!

Hi Everyone! I'm located in Maryland equidistant from Baltimore & Washington D.C. Growing up, I was the property manager for my parents' apartment buildings in NYC & was forced to serve eviction notices to tenants. Yep!, I did the dirty work. Now I'm doing this full time, seeking out my own real estate to invest. I Plan on flipping homes to obtain apartment buildings so my husband can retire his job, I want to pay all my kids college student loans & buy my mother in law a house so she can live closer to us. I'd appreciate any and all advice. Thanks!

Be prepared, do your research and be able to make decisions and move quickly. Baltimore isn't as bad as DC but I've listed houses and got 4-6 offers the first day. I'll look at houses that have bee on the market 7-14 days and think...hmmmm must be something wrong with it.
