No wallflower here!

[Emery Green]

If life has taught me anything so far, it's that things tend to happen for me when I just jump in. So, in that spirit, I would like to introduce myself as one of the newer members to the BP website and start building my relationship with you all in the broader BP community. Having recently cut my teeth in the toughest real estate market in the US (SF Bay Area) I am ready to take my profits and build my portfolio in Baltimore. In fact, I am in the process of closing on my first Baltimore investment and am looking forward to buying additional residential rental properties in Baltimore city. While my background and skills as a clinical psychologist might not help me out in the financial acumen department of REI, undoubtedly my personable yet professional nature, my skill and motivation to understand others, and my desire to find mutually beneficial outcomes will help me as a landlord. I'm looking forward to learning more from you all as I embark in this new venture while also sharing my knowledge and abilities with the BP community. While I am not yet in Bmore, I am eager to begin my local networking. If anything I've said sounds interesting to you, please feel free to reach out (especially if you're local to Baltimore, or 21218). Looking forward to contributing to your personal, professional and financial growth! Sincerely, Emery

@Christian Sifuentes Thanks for tagging me.

@Emery Green You need to be under a broker to get MLS access. If you only want your license just to have MLS access.....it probably is not worth the cost to have your license, pay MLS dues, associations dues, sentrilock dues, pay for and take CE classes...plus be subject to the additional scrutiny of the real estate commission. I typically tell people that it is only worth getting your license if you are doing 5 transactions a year or more...and then, only if you are looking at it from a financial perspective. A number of investors do not want to have their license, even if it is financially in their favor due to having to deal with the increased government oversite from the real estate commission and other agencies.
