Aspiring real estate investor in Baltimore

[Account Closed]

Hello everyone

My name is Matthew and I am an aspiring real estate investor looking to purchase my first investment property in the Baltimore metro area.  I have lived in the Baltimore area for a year and 1/2 and after finally "dropping some roots" in the Baltimore area, I am eager take the plunge into real estate investing in my adopted new home.

After saving up some investment capital, I am finally in a position to start prospecting and seeking lending opportunities.  From there, I am not 100% clear as to the next step to take in this journey however, while figuring that out, I am reading books and blog after blog written by successful investors to gain as much knowledge as I can.

At the advice of Gary Keller's "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" and numerous other real estate blogs, I know I will eventually just have cast my fears aside and take the dive and close my first deal but, as a new member on BiggerPockets, I am here to learn as much as I can about investing and about my market along the way.

I look forward to engaging with and learning from the community here and developing my professional network along my journey into real estate investing.
