Hi my name is Janet from Baltimore and I am new to real estate wholesaling/investing. I love the revitilization of the city. I thought I would try my hand at wholesaling. My ultimate dream is to quit my 9-5 and invest fully in fixing and flipping. I like to call my newly found business HouseHead Real Estate Investments. I came up with that because I love house music. Lol I thought it was cute!!
