New Investor in Hagerstown, MD & Montgomery County area
Hi everyone,
I'm a new investor from a small town in Maryland. Just wanted to touch basis with some current investors in the Hagerstown & Montgomery County area! I just wanted to know if anyone had some tips for me as I begin my journey. You guys know how starting something new can make you feel.
Thanks in advance,
Ebonie

Welcome to BP @Ebonie Williams! Hagerstown is a beautiful little town! I can't wait to hear about your experiences up there! I think @Russell Brazil is spot on. You will have some great CAP rates up in Hagerstown, but you will have little to no appreciation there. The opposite would be true in my neck of the woods (Gaithersburg).
Wherever you do decide to invest, trust your gut and yourself! You'll have a better feel for you local area then I will :)
