Looking to connect with Annapolis Investors

[Brandt Green]

Newbie to REI and looking to connect with some locals near Annapolis, Edgewater, and Severna Park, MD. Doesn't seem to be any meetup groups that are centered on real estate in the Annapolis area that are consistent.

I'm a 29 year old successful small business owner looking to expand into real estate investments. Looking for some entrepreneurs/investors that I could connect with and bring some value to in return for the same.

Mostly interested in Buy and Hold properties (Rentals) and Fix/Flips. Currently trying to learn about wholesaling/bird dogging properties to get started into REI while helping a friend grow his portfolio in exchange for my time/energy.

Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated. Excited for the venture. 

In advance, I've been going through the podcasts from the beginning for a few weeks now, exploring the site, read  BP Beginners Guide as well as currently working my way through the "Investing in Real Estate with No (Low) Money Down" book.
