New member in Maryland

[Neil Brown]

Hello BiggerPockets community! I am a new member living in Columbia, Maryland. I bought a short sale house right after college, fixed it up, and house-hacked for 7 years before moving out and turning it into a full rental. My current house in Columbia was a fixer-upper that I did a full gut rehab before moving in. I am a professional musician (trumpet player) as my day job, but also really enjoy real estate and am looking to make it a bigger part of my life. 

I am interested in investing in buy and hold properties, possibly small multi-units, in Maryland. I am looking in several different areas including Baltimore and its suburbs as well as the Washington DC suburbs. I am eager to network and learn from other BiggerPockets members and really appreciate all the helpful information that people have posted. I know there are several REIAs in this area and am looking forward to meeting some BiggerPockets members at those events!
