Charm City, aka Baltimore Newbie

[Paige Marie]

Hi All!  Discovered BP about a month or so ago, been listening to the podcasts almost daily,  commenting on discussions when I feel I have something to contribute, yet I just discoverd this forum to meet new members like myself.

My name is Paige and I live in Baltimore, MD aka Charm City. I'm a Non-Profit Professional by day, aspiring Real Estate Investor by night. I've researched and observed the REI realm for at least five years and recently made up my mind to get serious and just jump in. Having made that decision, I recently completed my real estate agent licensing classes and will take the state exam in a few weeks. At the urging of a friend, I attended a MAREIA meeting, pitched a few deals which were well received and am now actively seeking my first deal.

My immediate goal is to build enough cash reserves which would allow both my husband and myself to quit our 9-5's within the next year.  He is a former federal contractor and now works as an appraiser which certainly helps with our plans!  My primary vehicle for accomplishing this is flipping.  Eventually I'd like to establish a rental portfolio and enjoy the stability of passive income while still conducting flips.

I'm interested in meeting folks from all over and look forward to learning as much as I can from the pros as well as the newbies.

Take Care!
