Newish investor from Baltimore MD area

[Suzanne A.]

Hi all, I've been lurking here for literally years but recently actually registered for the site. I'm from Bel Air, MD (north of Baltimore) and have one rental property which has worked out amazingly well so far. However it used to be our primary residence and we became accidental landlords when we moved. But now I want to actually go out there and do my first real deal. I'm working with an agent and have my eye on a few properties. My goal in the future is multi-family, but currently my husband is not completely on board (he hasn't said that, but I can tell he's less than enthused with my REI aspirations--he's skeptical). Anyways, I have been learning a lot here and look forward to learning a lot more, if you all can take my stupid questions.

I work full-time as a cancer data specialist (contractor for federal gov't). I love my job, but that doesn't mean I also can't love REI. Right? :)
