New investor from Baltimore, MD

[Erin Stephens]

Hello,

My name is Erin Stephens and I am starting out as an investor in Baltimore County, MD.

Just had my first accepted offer this week, woo-hoo! Property is a 3BR/2BATH townhouse in the Essex area. Hopefully I will be posting some rehab updates in the near future, barring any major surprises during the inspection.

My boyfriend is a master plumber/contractor who bought his first investment property two years ago. He now has two properties with tenants and a third undergoing (major) renovation. I helped out wherever I could and learned a lot seeing him go through the process- now I've caught the Real Estate Bug! Our goal is to acquire buy-and-hold rentals, SFH for now but I dream of a small apartment complex purchase down the road.

Currently employed full-time-plus as a veterinarian, I absolutely love my career, but aspire to cut my hours back to part-time. My hobbies change with embarrassing frequency, with gardening being my current obsession.

Bigger Pockets has been unbelievably helpful already. Thank you for being an awesome community!
