new member in prince georges county
Hello, my name is Brandon Bryant. I've had the desire to do real estate for some years and now finally have the drive to live my dream. I live in prince georges county maryland but I would like to branch off to the Baltimore area and the Washington DC area as well in addition to Prince georges county. I honestly don't know where to start but I have patience, drive and a lot of time on my hands. Im 30 years old single, no kids and as of now unemployed. I'm looking to learn how I can flip properties and own rental properties while in my current situation, i.e broke without a dollar to my name. Any help or mentorship would be greatly appreciated

Brandon - start going to Meetups and REIAs and network and start learning by asking questions and offering a value add; if you can bring value you can get experience under your belt without spending money.
You're in Clinton so the Southern MD REIA (waldorf) may be a place to start @Ned Carey has contact info. I think there is a meetup or REIA in Upper Marlboro which is even better location-wise for you but I'm not sure... maybe someone else can chime in.
There is also the
BWI Meetup
Baltimore REIA
There are a lot of people around here who invest in Baltimore because of the variety of entry price points.
