Good evening,

My name is Treveon Blue. I am new to the community and and I'm here looking to network with the right seasoned professionals to build lasting relationships, execute deals, and more importantly to gain knowledge to help me with future deals. My goal in RE is to begin with wholesaling, flipping, and any other methods I may not be aware of to build liquid capital. Acquire properties to buy, rehab, and rent or sell. Also from reading other posts in interested in acquiring a multi family via a FHA 203k loan to own and occupy. Rent 3 units. Live in one, to have a stream of passive income and be free of living expenses, then later begin the process of condo conversion and sell. I'm only 24, and I am always open to learn & meet new people. After years of getting "the run around" on other so called informational sites (which only amounted to me funding someone else's income) I look forward to the bigger pockets community being the best kept secret niche of like minds I see it to be & I look forward to connecting with you all!

Treveon Blue Welcome to BP! You should look into attending a local REI meet up. There are several in Maryland. Good way to network and get first hand knowledge and information from like minded investors.

    Welcome Trevon.  One piece of advice from one newbie to the next,  find one niche and focus on that one...gain all the knowledge you can and then execute.   After you have done a few and are ready for something else,  then diversify your investing.   If you try to take on multiple different projects,  it may get a little overwhelming for a new investor,  but nothing wrong with including all of those in your long term goals!   All the best to you.
